So…
You think people walk into lectures completely unprepared, listen for 25 minute, and walk out and they magically have learned stuff?
Maybe you’re just still in highschool, or never took a serious class in college.
How it works is:
Do the reading.
Attend the lecture while taking notes.
Review the notes
Then later, after doing this with different topics, reviewing the same information again.
There’s a lot bigger barrier of entry, compared to uploading a video to fucking YouTube.
You know what’s crazier? There’s still a shit ton more reasons, but I already know that even if you have managed to read this far, you can’t remember the 1-4 steps without looking back up.
Reading let’s you do that, quickly scan the text for what you want and referring to it.
