<p>What's Temple's policy on using your laptop in class? Is that generally permitted? I'd rather use OneNote and read documents on my laptop and carry as few books as possible.</p>
<p>My D takes hers to class to take notes.</p>
<p>You’re allowed to use a laptop in class unless the instructor explicitly disallows. I’m a junior and I can tell you that, although most students have laptops, almost no one brings them to class. In large science lectures of 250-300 students only four or five have them. Hell, I’m a Computer Science major and even in our classes no one uses a laptop.</p>
<p>Yeah, almost no one brings theirs to class. I might’ve like twice in two years.</p>
<p>My D bought a portable hard drive, I think like 500G (around $100), and the size of a large pack of cards. It carries everything and attaches to the computers in the tech center.</p>
<p>Not sure of Temple’s policy, but you should definitely push to have laptop accepted… gather students support and push for it… :)</p>
