The vast majority of students rely on laptops – and increasingly AI – to help with their university work. But a small number are going analogue and eschewing tech almost entirely in a bid to re-engage their brains

Math I put more on the side of not having to even need notes, but just understand the formula and it involves practice by doing different problems over and over so you can solve problems on exams. You can just skip class completely and solve problems from the textbook and be good to go. Math is more similar to like learning to do a jump shot and mastering it. Practice is the way to go.
So I don’t put in the same category of classes that are less problem solving or less abstract concepts like philosophy.
Ones that are specific things that need to be recalled with little room for reinterpretation are ones where handwriting things isn’t enough, since the answer is either right or wrong. So memorization outside of class is heavy requirement. There’s just no shortcut to those type of classes and too much info to retain unless someone has a naturally great memory.
