A lot of these classes just require we answer questions with the i<clicker, every 5-10 minutes, so most people bring something else to do. It's not just an ADHD thing.
In other lectures where there isn't a participation grade or notes to take (like they are already online), but the material requires more effort, I will put the notes on my iPad, bring notecards or the textbook along in case it gets really slow and I feel like I'm not getting anything out of the lecture. Going through the material on your own will help you stay focused on the course content. From my experience, people with ADHD are very good autodidacts.

Wait what's an "iclicker"? You have to answer questions during the class? Just going around the room? I thought normal college had like huge class sizes so wouldn't that take forever? Or is there like a lecture test like filling out a sheet while watching a movie in high school? And every 5-10 minutes??
I'm just interested because I'm in college but we don't do anything like that. My school is ultra small though and I couldn't get away with having an iPad or a phone in class. The professor would tell me to put it away. If I were tuning them out and just doing my own thing in class I'd get called on to answer a question or something. I have one "big" class with almost 20 students in it and I can get away with a little more.
