> But how about creating the LaTex notes after class as a method to help retain the information? I recommend solving exercises instead (with pen and paper), and creating flash cards for memorizing. Golden rule: Use LaTeX only, if you really need to publish something for a wider audience. It's relevant for your thesis, research papers and math books. For everything else, LaTeX is nothing but a huge time sink. Even if you communicate math via email, try to avoid sending PDFs. Use common LaTeX syntax in your email plain text instead. Don't abuse LaTeX for procrastination.
