Uni Study Tips

[Gloamglozer]

But then I wouldn't have a macbook...how can a uni student use a computer that's NOT made by Apple :O

Easily.

Yep.

But if only I had OneNote.

Do they have the lecture notes book (like printed slides with the lines next to it) for every subject to buy? If so, where do i get them from & when can i get ?

Very few subjects publish lecture notes, they're generally available as pdfs or ppts on Blackboard

For maths subjects, the lecture slides can be bought from the University Bookshop (the one next to the Baillieu Library) for ~$15.  You can usually buy them in the first or second week of the semester.  Your lecturer will inform you of when they are available.  Until then, the lecturer will print out notes and distribute them in the first lecture.

But those notes are the skeleton notes; you will need to annotate them.  And full, completed lecture slides will not be available on the Learning Management System (LMS).

As said, none of the subjects in his sig have purchasable lecture notes. Some might have prac notes though (the biology ones)

Yeah I know.  I just wanted to add the maths bit in because it is unique and doesn't operate like the usual sciences.

OneNote is a brilliant program and one I would be using if I could afford a Macbook

I did a quick search and couldn't see a version for mac. I do have Microsoft office for mac but I don't know of there is a version that will work with it... the program looks really good, I want it now...

Wait, do you mean few subjects put them up on blackboard or print off? Because if few actually put them on blackboard that sucks so bad :|

Very few subjects sell collections of the semesters notes.
Almost all subjects put them on the LMS/Blackboard. Most of the time they go up a couple of days in advance but some subjects put them up after lectures.
