I agree but I know many times it is for attendance or in case they might miss something. I see this a lot too and more times than not when on the laptops or PDAs. However, some of the lectures do leave something to be desired at times. I still learn material better by writing it out instead of typing for some reason; there is a better connection and helps me to remember easier.
I have really enjoyed being back in school: the learning, the challenges, and interacting with most of the students and the profs. It has been great. Some struggles here and there but overall I am glad for having gone back.
