In first year, I'd prepare by closing the door, picking the perfect study playlist, and sitting down at my desk, looking up at my picture-collage wall. I was so excited to start studying..... And I had NO IDEA where to start.
NOW I have a fine tuned lecture note-taking protocol. It all starts with the preparation. I have a quick peek at my lecture powerpoint before the show hits the road (if all the stars aligned and my lecturer uploaded the content in advance- not always a given).
As I'm sitting down for the class to begin. I deploy the ol' split-screen. This is where the pace picks up. I've the powerpoint on the left of my screen. And my OneNote document open on the right hand side. Just beside by laptop sits my trusty phone. Full of battery and free from clutter so it's ready to voice record the whole thing. As the lecturer begins their talk-a-talking. I begin my type-a-typing. All of it. As fast as I can. My fingers are going faster than that 5 minute panic session before I leave to go and see my piano teacher after not practicing all week. And I'm typing down every damned word I can manage. I don't look up. Typos and all, I charge the cursor forward. Every unknown word is spelt phonetically. There is no time for googling. There is only time for typing.
Breathe.
As the lecture ends, I re-name my voice recording. Every time. Or it falls into the void and is never listened to again. Then, in the coming week (?) I will go through and tidy up this lecture transcript. I add the pictures in at the right location. I search up how to spell "perturbed spindle". I search up the little 'presumed-knowledge' delicacies that the lecturer sprinkled in.
P.S. I've graduated. I got top marks. I figured out what worked for me along the way. And I'm ready to share all the little details with you. So grab a pink drink. And let's talk uni.
