So when my physics teacher saw me online and started quizzing me on the exam subjects to check that I am prepared, he was being inappropriate too? Looked like a beneficial cause to me...
And how can you draw that same complex 3D chemical structure on paper without having artistic skills. This was a huge problem with a number of classmates in my class. When taking notes in physics and chemisty we drew the diagrams so badly that we could not understand what it is that we had on paper. In the end we had to find related image on google and attach it to our notes. How well you can draw a model cannot be used as an indicator of how well you understand the subject My classmate was a brilliant student but had negative drawing skills.
Next issue is that physics is dynamic. My class had the hardest time in the world connecting still diagrams drawn by teacher on board that were suppose to explain relative motion of frames of reference. When reviewing our drawn diagrams in books it barely made any sense as we struggled to visualise how one diagram is supposedly moves in a certain way relative to another diagram. Notes with animations embedded in them would have gotten us a much higher grade.
Yes, it is close to impossible to take this level of notes in class while teacher is speaking. In fact, i cannot take notes while someone is speaking because i miss everything thats said while i am writing. I usually just listen, and then make notes on my own time using other materials. It would be really nice if teachers would provide a base file with all the fancy information already in and then students can modify and/or add their own content as teacher explains the material given out.
