    Yeah, your comment doesn’t make any sense. You said that the whole thing reads like a fantasy when he backs it up with studies.

      no I meant the expectation that people will just comply without complaint. especially if its not been stated otherwise in the lesson plan or syllabus.

      this guy makes it seem like he magically was able to charm people into not using their laptops. and then wrote praises to him for such a thing, and quite frankly I’m certain all of that is embellishment.

      I’m all for being more productive in classrooms, but banning note taking methods that quite a few people rely on is just silly.

      if people want to join classes where note taking is analog only, that’s great and I encourage it. but let me know its that way ahead of time so I don’t waste my time having to get a refund for the course.

        Just record it and use a transcriber app. Then you can fully focus on the presentation and worry about notes later
