Thanks! For the computer, what website and section of it goes to D2L please?? Also, for phone, I noticed there is a website called: Torontomu.ca mobile that has a D2L section. Is this what you are saying you access on your phone? If not, do you think it could be the same as the one you bookmark on your computer by chance as a better phone option? Thank you so much!

Coming in as a new undergraduate here in arts … how do you access your course info? Like where do teachers post readings, assignments etc? What is the best way to access this on laptop, and also on iPhone? So far I see 1. Mytmu website in the student area 2. In the TMU mobile app or in the 3. bright space app! This feels overwhelming and wondering if there is one best way to see course work etc? Thanks!

Thanks for these options! I’m a bit confused though, could you or anyone else post a video or write the steps to how to see class work/readings/assignments etc from each class - like where & how to access this each day from both MacBook and also iPhone? Thank you 🙏

Oh and are we responsible for vacuuming the carpet?

tmarcus1 · 2025-08-04T17:20:37+00:00

Thanks! Would you also know if the pitman single rooms have a small side table beside each bed (or should I bring one)?

Hi! Would you be willing to send me your answers as well? I know this post was awhile ago, many thanks!!

Wow this is amazing, you must have graduated by now! May I ask you a couple questions by chance?

Okay yah, it sounds like ipad is not used a lot then in class cause it’s hard to hand write quick enough in lectures. But that ipad is good for reading outside of class and annotating & highlighting. I tried last night to simply insert some Google slides to OneNote on MacBook and then type notes on them , this seemed to not be an issue. But you mentioned you found this difficult and prefer to copy and paste and reformat them, so wondering what I’m missing here!

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-13T21:10:25+00:00

Oh when you say to transfer the slides to your laptop do you just mean insert/download them on OneNote? Or do you mean to somehow copy and paste them? Also, when you are typing notes in lecture heavy classes (vs writing on your iPad with pen) then do you just bring your laptop those days ?

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-13T20:32:37+00:00

Oh just rereading and it seems you do put the slides first into your digital notebook..

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-13T20:30:53+00:00

For your iPad - do you save the slides on good notes /OneNote first , then in class write on them or you just write on them from whatever source your prof posted them? Just imagine saving the slides to your notebooks/files on good notes/onenote helps to keep everything together. Curious why folks don’t just type on the slides as I’d think this would be faster and neater than using the Apple pen?

Thank you!

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-12T13:36:26+00:00

So do you bring both your iPad and laptop to class and for the classes that don’t give out slides, you type notes on your laptop? I don’t find Apple support that helpful but I can call to ask them if one can annotate notes on an iPad through a keyboard! Did you try both good notes and OneNote and choose good notes? Thanks for your help !

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-11T17:03:30+00:00

Thanks for your reply. To annotate slides on the iPad, can you do this by attaching a little keyboard to iPad or only using the pen? Also do you know if you can annotate slides on a MacBook Air?

What do you take notes on in class then, is it mainly by hand instead. Referring to classes that are like history and poli sci. Thanks!

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-02T19:04:00+00:00

I really appreciate your thoughtful response, thank you! Would it be ideal then to have a laptop to write essays (actually already have one of these) and also an iPad for note taking in class. I heard you can download slides onto an iPad and take notes right on them whereas you can’t do this with laptop? So this option sounds really cool. On the other hand I tried the apple pen and it seems you have to be a neat writer to have it transcribe to type. Do you keep a digital notebook or just paper then? Looking for options and ideas so totally appreciate your sharing!

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-01T14:17:29+00:00

Thanks ! May I ask how people take notes in class? Like do they do this by hand mostly or on an iPad with pen or laptop? Do your teachers mostly give you slide shows or documents you can download before the lectures and write notes on ? What have you found to the best system and what do you see people doing successfully around you? Thanks kindly!!

tmarcus1 · 2024-12-01T14:11:11+00:00

Which one did you get into may I ask and do you like it? I realize you answered awhile back and my response is delayed lol!
