<p>I am dedicated to pen and paper, but I agree with others than in many classes, especially large lectures, many students use laptops (and about half of those using laptops actually take notes). I personally am really good at keeping things organized and don’t need a computer to do it for me, but that obviously depends on the student.</p>
<p>There are departments that prohibit laptops in class, though, and honestly I think they’re probably right. There are people who legitimately use laptops to take notes in a way that makes more sense to them, but even the more diligent students have a way of going on Facebook during lectures if they have the opportunity.</p>
