This was a big problem with me in college. While going through proofs in a lecture, I would frequently have questions in my head and try to pursue them, and in 10 seconds I would have lost the line of reasoning of the proof.
- hansvm 6y agoFunny, I've always viewed that behavior as more conducive to learning than trying to follow a proof or lecture exactly.
- jhanschoo 6y agoIt's alright if there the proof is sketched down somewhere, but I had a couple advanced courses where there were important concepts that weren't already written down anywhere.
- watwut 6y agoFor me, writing notes work to overcome that. If I write notes, I can keep focus longer. Plus, I would scribble all those questions on side and come to them later if they were not answered by something in lecture after.
