<p>i pretty much have nothing left to do this summer; every1 else has started school and i'm left at home..</p>
<p>would i benefit by reading ahead in my school textbooks?? again my classes are LA cluster, math 3a, and eng comp 3</p>
<p>Learn to knit, scrapbook, needle felt, crochet, sculpt, draw, paint, sew, etc.</p>
<p>Walk your dog.</p>
<p>Masturbate.</p>
<p>Exercise.</p>
<p>Work on your novels. All 294823978 of them.</p>
<p>If you must read ahead, go by the syllabi. If you don't have syllabi yet, why bother?</p>
<p>i take engcomp 3 too, wuts ur lecture number? im lecture 38</p>
<p>Start looking for a jarb! Volunteer somewhere....there are plenty of activities, search for them.</p>
<p>I been leafing through a multivariable calculus book to prepare for economics 11. I never bothered to learn it and for some reason, the textbook is loaded with it even though multivariable calculus is not a prerequisite... ****.</p>
<p>I plan on taking multivariable in the winter anyways.</p>

<p>LA CLuster: Probably won't need to read everything. So don't waste your time. Besides, you don't know what you're looking for when you're reading the texts. </p>
<p>Math 3A? Same thing. Also, depends heavily on how professor teaches and how he/she grades/tests for.</p>
<p>I remember feeling this way before high school. And I DID read two chapters of my spanish book.</p>
<p>The chapters we of course skipped ;).</p>
<p>And when I was overloaded with work, I completely regretted wasting my summer STUDYING when I could I just been doing whatever I wanted.</p>
<p>i always read ahead.... in my first quarter. now i barely read :)</p>
<p>now that we got to this...how do you guys take notes during lectures? its a big concern to me cuz i never took notes in high school...</p>
<p>Depends on the class.
You get a feel for the prof, fig. out what's important.
Go ahead and anal, neurotic, and meticulous the first week and half or so. Talk to your T/A and instructor. Find out what you need to know and follow-through.</p>
<p>As for you namaste - lies! I know you read everything for one certain class halfway through spring quarter. :mad: :p :)</p>
<p>trust me enjoy your summer of academic-freeness because you will be loaded and it will not be fun...but the rest of college life will be :] cheers</p>
<p>Yea...don't bother. It may help for the first or second week, but just enjoy your summer. The rest will come along. </p>
<p>Notetaking, I just use a basic I -> a-> 1 outline format</p>
<p>cool, how detailed should the notes be?</p>
<p>Read mme-lin's post again hater :) It really depends. You'll probably spend the first week being picky and writing down everything, but once you get a feel for the teacher, you will understand what is really important and what isn't.</p>
<p>There hasn't been a time where I used the same note taking layout for multiple teachers.</p>
<p>kk, thanks altema</p>
<p>hater, no i'm not in your eng comp 3 lecture. i have westbay as a teacher. anybody willing to comment on her?</p>
<p>Writing Classes have a large set of graduate students for teaching the designated course (i.e. English Comp. 3 or 4W). Not all of the instructors teach the same course consistently quarter-to-quarter... so it would be somewhat hard-pressed to get a good amount of reviews of Westbay. </p>
<p>Generally though, Eng Comp 3 = E-Z. DWAI.</p>
<p>hell yeah...one more class to NWA!!!</p>
<p>this is not a good sign ist?</p>
<p>More like you better not mess up in that class! 4.0 for the win!</p>
<p>i guess so...i was gonna do a victory lap...</p>
