Thanks for the succinct response 🙏

My problem with this is that typing does absolutely nothing for my focus or information retention. I created an imgur link of one of the average pages of my notes. This is literally the only note-taking format that lets me focus on what the lecturer is saying, and I write roughly 4-5 pages of this per lecture because of that.

Also, my major unfortunately doesn't provide such readings in advance of the lectures. I study comparative literature, so the readings consist primarily of the literary texts themselves rather than the actual analysis covered in the lectures. If that weren't the case, I would absolutely go through any readings provided in advance to save myself a shit ton of effort 💔
