CGSC 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Psychological Science, Time Management, None Of The Above
Document Summary
Lecture 5 (oct. 3) how cognitive science can help you get through school & learning disabilities (lds) Students who take notes by hand remember more than students who take notes on computers. The theory is that people type too much on the computer (dictation/transcribing), and when people write by hand they are forced to process it and summarize. Also, you are more easily distracted by the web if you have a computer on. In my class, if you"re going to do something other than paying attention, please sit at the back. This can be done with the cornell method by writing practice quiz questions on the back of the page. If you"re distracted by others" computer screens, sit up front where you can"t see as many. Doodling can help you pay attention. in a study where students either could or could not doodle in a boring lecture, the students who could doodle did better.
