^can't believe we have people in pharmacy school with that attitude. lay off people who are at least giving it their all...it's really NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! if ya'll are such know-it-all, why don't you give these people some pointers on how to study for their classes? however, since ya'll are some conniving jerks, ya'll would rather take a field day to make fun of the way people study. i question the way ya'll live your lives. just lay off. this thread went too far. have some respect for people & their aspirations, motivation, and beliefs. part of success is having respect for other people. and trust me, people who take a lot of notes (for their benefit - as a tool for studying) do get far in life. it's apparent determination & appreciation for learning, because i can go into a classroom & listen to the lecturer...however, can the lecturer tell you're learning when they don't see you writing in your notebook? well, it's not apparent...cuz for all i know you could be looking at the wall past the lecturer. so for the final time, lay off people who have a different way of learning than yours. don't take this post on a superficial layer. take some time to think about what you've written on SDN, because believe me...there's a level of ignorance & immaturity in your posts (both mike & confetti). i dont even know if i should take ya'll seriously; you're really trolls to this board...asking for trouble.
