<p>I'm accepted to the Engineering department and I would like to bring a tablet pc to take notes on. I work much better and efficiently on a computer and I'd like the option of using my touchscreen laptop to take notes on throughout lectures. </p>
<p>Do the teachers in UVa generally allow this? Most other schools do, but what about UVa?</p>
<p>yes, definitely. the only classes that don’t are some discussion sections and some smaller seminars (like with 15-20 people)
or at least that’s in the college, someone else could talk about the e-school but it’s probably the same…</p>
<p>thats good.</p>
<p>btw, I’m getting confused with all the naming. Which is the college and which is the e-school?</p>
<p>is the e-school engineering school, and the college everything else?</p>
<p>College/CLAS/ASU = College of Arts and Sciences
E/SEAS/ENU = School of Engineering & Applied Sciences</p>
<p>in addition to the college and the e-school, there’s also the A-school (architecture school) nursing, curry/ed-school (education), and the comm-school (McIntire school of commerce…undergrad business).
then there’s the graduate schools: arts & sciences, Darden (graduate business), law, med, and Batten (public policy)</p>
<p>I had a tablet for first-midway through third year. Don’t really know how much it was worth it in the e-school. You have to constantly carry the thing around, ensure it’s charged, may need to print out notes anyways. I used it for a few classes, but in general, stuck with paper and pencil.<br>
To answer your question though, most professors don’t mind you using a laptop in class. I’m on mine right now.</p>
<p>Thanks everybody! Every question has been sufficiently answered! :)</p>
