>tfw I didn't go to movies, I went to film school

Do Americans really bring their laptop to lectures, isn't it overkill? All you need is a pen and some paper to take notes.

yeah but nobody pays attention in lecture

Please tell me they were forced to use those "machines".

Yeah but they can't browse facebook with just pen and paper.

american students are the dumbest people on the planet

>apple

Wow, lots of jewcock swallowing went on in that room.

Why all the apple computers?

They are over priced for what they do and surely there is no fashion statement to be made when EVERYONE has one. Coming in with something alternative and then autistically boasting about its superior specs and how Apple Man was a huge unlikable faggot might actually make you the cool guy.

The majority of kids on laptops during lecture aren't even following the professor. In my classes at least half of the people on laptops are either or social media or doing work for other classes.

>All those macs


Gee, i wonder why they are americucks

Sometimes when the jew bitch teacher required me to bring the latest edition of the 300 dollar textbook to class I'll pirate the last edition of the ebook and bring my laptop to class because fuck jews and fuck professors who contribute to the textbook system. Most of the time we never needed it in class. Fuck college. my fucking boomer dad payed for my tuition before I was even born. I know I shouldn't complain but I would have rather been a plumber or electrician I can't deal with these constant deadlines.

Depends on the subject, some really help to have a laptop with. I always brought mine to my project management class since I wrote copious notes, just paragraphs and paragraphs every lecture and my hands would cramp if I did it by hand while it's effortless on a computer. And of course any computer programming or CAD course would be better with a laptop. For anything math heavy though it's a bit dumb.

>paragraphs of notes
doin it wrong

You get one free every time you enroll for some bullshit class. This way you get at least something out of it.

its like this in canada too. just a room full of macbooks

>film school
at least they're getting used to it

>not recording the entire audio of the lecture and playing it back later on so you don't rely on doodled notes

yeah but how I am supposed to watch the kid in front of me watch pro League of Legends on his giant ass gaming Asus with glowing red everywhere?

I started doing this during exam reviews and my grades went up from c average student to solid b student

macbooks are god tier.
PC manufacturers have VERY recently nearly reached 80% in manufacturing quality. I've seen laptop after laptop fail in the time my faithful 8 year old macbook pushed on and was still running photoshop and illustrator while watching videos. I only updated because i wanted to. The trackpad has never been matched and the lack of any bothersome elements in the OS make it god tier in terms of distraction-less and glitchless operating. After all of that I STILL have windows installed for various non-compatible programs.

Yeah but then you have to listen to the lecture twice. My shit professors can't even fill out the hour class period with enough relevant information so they just ramble about stupid shit mostly.

>implying all professors let you do audio recordings
>implying that's not a waste of time as most of that lecture isn't worth listening to twice
>implying taking good notes during class isn't far more time efficient for studying
>implying that won't make visual segments more or less pointless

Depends on the class.

While I was taking English and Psychology requirements for my campus (every one has to pass these courses to graduate regardless of major) I remember filling up an entire 1 subject notebook nearly full during a semester.

I agree that endless paragraphs wouldn't the best thing for chem or math courses. Hell I'm predominantly writing chemical structures during my organic chem class.

>not just sleeping through class instead of wasting time on facebook

Are you a woman? Every heard of a thinkpad? It cost a third the price of a macbook and it doesn't feel like garbage.

I've got a 2000 word essay on Fantasy due this Friday ... what Fantasy film should I write about Sup Forums?

well, they are americans

You should probably write a 20 word letter of resignation because that sounds like a waste of time, money, and effort.

>paying 2-3k for a laptop that has less functionality than its $600 windows counterpart

Tbh it's still an "American" brand. I'd buy it if i was American and was heavily discounted as it is for students.
Then install windows botnet.
Voila, a great machine

Tell that to all the Africans who still live in huts.

you fucking retard... do you know how much more efficient notes are on a computer? ctrl f is a great tool, so are documents with different level headings you can view in word and make a contents for

it's not even close how much better you're off using your computer

if you write your notes then transcribe them into pc you're just adding an extra layer of effort that's a waste of time

but what if you
>record the audio
>and take good notes
ik, strange idea

Why don't you drop out and study something that will actually aid you in getting an income you moron?

I need to use 3dsmax for a job and im fucking pissed off that i own a macbook. overpriced useless trash.

tell that to zods snapped neck

Think different

>dell inspiron doesn't feel like a mac book
Macs have horrible quality control, child labor, and are extremely way over priced for their hardware.
It's not really a debatable topic unless someone's an Apple fanatic.

>if you write your notes then transcribe them into pc you're just adding an extra layer of effort that's a waste of time
assuming you wrote notes in paper why would you transcribe them to PC?, you are just saying random shit to make it seem harder

so you can ctrl + f

Isn't the point of writing notes to plant the idea firmly into your memory? The physical act and the need to transcribe in your own words makes learning the topic easier. Maybe handwriting notes -then typing them up- would be the best for actually getting the most out of your stupidly expensive university experience.

It's the norm in 1st world country user.

Everyone's different, there's no hard and fast rule. Whatever works for the person works for the person.

>tfw too smart to learn

Macbooks are the best laptops.
It has nice built in features that helps you type fast as shit.

Film school isn't about becoming a director there are shitloads of jobs in the media industry and a good program will teach you at least the basics of most of them

>Isn't the point of writing notes to plant the idea firmly into your memory?

Actually I think there's no difference between typing and writing when it comes to note taking and memory. The reason why those who typed did shittier in the study is that they kept using their laptops to look up shit and distract themselves from the lecture. Despite looking up things related to the material, the kind of "switching" the brain does from listening to researching just distracts it and impedes learning.

As someone who had had to work a job where I fixed people's laptops and listened to them bitch and moan about how awful their computers perform when they have web browser toolbars 10 deep and somehow manage to fill their computers up with malware and bullshit I am extremely grateful for apple computers. They are the computer equivalent of bowling with the bumpers on and I recommend them for anyone who isn't interested in putting in just a basic amount of effort to learn their computers systems and how to keep them running.

They are overpriced, but they are simple to use, reasonably well made, have direct support from Apple, and they aren't as easy to load up with malware by clicking on everything online as your average windows computer.

I have a dell myself, but I know wtf I'm doing, I would never in a million years let my parents use something other than an apple.

does this actually happen?

university in the vast majority of cases is a fucking scam that will load you down in debt

i did 2 years of CS and then split to get a real job because all you need is a portfolio rather than a piece of paper

gaming laptops are pretty popular yeah

LOL STUPID BITCH HAHAHAHHA

what even is the point in lectures anymore?

10 years ago the entire lecture was available on the intranet after the lecture.

>mfw their marketing campaign was "think different"

>tfw too smart to pick a meme degree

Law and medicine will always make university necessary

Everything else you could learn from wikipedia pages

2 things;

1. it's a meme to make students think they're getting something out of it; and
2. it justifies the wages of the lecturer/tutor/guy who turns on the projector/any other person

kek. i have that. sorry bro

At my uni, which is quite good to be fair, the lecturers don't just read shit from the lecture slides. They tend to actually go in-depth on the subject
Although, having said that, a lot of my lecturers don't even have lecture slides and instead just ramble on for an hour or two and hope they've said something of worth

>I never used a Mac before
Ok m8.

>actually saying a Windows laptop is better than a Mac simply because of specs
youve never used a Mac. Believe me I was same. Fact is, Windows laptops are clunky as fuck to type or use a trackpad.
Top it all off, Windows laptops are now getting more gimmicky than Mac with this stupid touchscreen crap as well
>let me just move my laptop
NOPE. Just closed the window you had open.

Because of that ONE tech illiterate bitch that doesn't put anything online.

Writing notes on physical paper is objectively better for memorization than typing on a laptop. People who use their laptops for notetaking are morons. Most people who bring their laptops are just doing something else and not actually paying attention.

why the fuck does it have to be a mac? these are adults, but they're still acting like middle-schoolers who need the newest shoes to fit in. what makes me sad is that there are probably a dozen of students who couldn't afford it, or even their tuition but bought one anyway so as to not be looks at weird.

i hate the world

That's like asking what's the need for shrinks when you can get mental health help online.

The physical person, and the structure to keep you disciplined, are what's important.

repeat after me

we are all individuals

we are all special snowflakes

we are all unique

I refuse to believe anyone is this stupid or incompetent.

Wow, look at this troglodyte over here.

>NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
nice argument, moron

Holy shit are you that technologically inept?

is that Alexis Crystal / Anouk sitting in top picture first row middle?

>He needs daddy to keep him disciplined

What a good employee you're learning to be goy

I use pen and notebook most of the time

Not everyone is an amazing rugged individualist self-made pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps wildly successful billionaire with everything figured out like you, user.

I'm just a millionaire, so you're wrong.

But yes being able to work by yourself and motivate yourself is a skill that would serve most people well.

screencapping this because it's the best explanation for why I appreciate macs too.

atleast they could build a mudhut. not so sure about typical American students.

>Writing notes on physical paper is objectively better for memorization than typing on a laptop
Depends on the person, so no it's not objective.
I spend more time actually listening when typing and memorize better.

>who need the newest shoes to fit in
lmao
My 2011 Macbook works just fine and is anything but new.

in a full lecture theater there are like 3 people who are actually taking notes on the laptop. most people are sitting there with their laptop on their lap while scrolling facebook on their phone

I love dipshits in my course cause it means I'm going to look better without doing any extra work.

If you're not actively rooting for their failure you should

oh it shows

What the fuck is this madmans problem?

> tfw work the Apple support line.

It's actually pretty good, everything that isn't fixed by turning it on and off is fixed by restoring to factory or going into the store.

I literally just play my 3ds all day. WAHOO!

Pure chad move right there. Hes at college for one thing and one thing only. Poon.

Poor Mizzou couldnt afford a laptop

Most of my lectures are not dumb cunts repeating the powerpoint presentation.

>Dropped out of college
>Cashed in Tuition
>Spent it all on videogames and Iran-Iraq war surplus

Who /LivingTheDream/ here?

Plumbers and Electricians probably have deadlines aswell user.

>tfw too intelligent to take notes

>tfw too smart to learn material that wont be tested and is thus irrelevant

I actually used to take my tablet or computer to class and realized I didn't use it at all and that it was only distracting me.

Now I just take pen and notebook. But my handwriting is fucking crap so that part sucks.

Comedic fantasy and how it's truly terrible

You know like "Your Highness".

My uni kept trying to push iPads as some revolutionary device in learning kek

Faggot students trying to touch type notes while staring down at the table was pretty funny

I just use it for tinder snapchat and instagram while i take a shit

Who are these people that actually use Apple computers?

I've never met one.

if that's the case what's the point of attending said class anyways? they just waste time by being there

me neither but I'm european

ive been to 2 unis that actually counted the roll for lectures

so retarded

10% grade for attendance too

or pass/fail if you missed more than 20% of classes without reason

can't their friends that actually care sign for them though? seems like reasonable solution

i did that but i dont really trust people not to fuck my life up by making a mistake so i only did it once

putting a fail grade in the hands of some 20 year old retard isnt wise

>not bringing your desktop to class

Plebs

I double-majored in Psychology and Neuroscience and minored in English, so I can say on good authority that you're doing it way the fuck wrong. Using Word to take notes in size 10 Calibri, single-spaced, my Psych classes were 2-3 pages per section; my Neuro/Bio classes were 3-10 per; my English classes were essentially non-existent since it's mostly an exercise in intuition along with the occasional arcane factoid.
