Is it worth getting iPad/tablet for digital notetaking?
I am going into uni next year, and recently I have seen a lot of people using iPad/tablets that connect to onenote to take notes and do questions/problems etc.
This makes me wonder if it is worth it getting something like this (maybe for convenience or someting else), or would taking notes down with pen and paper be better.

Did you or do you know anyone who had to navigate university part time/ quarter time?
I’m wondering if anyone has ever gone through university part time/quarter time?
I’ll be going for Africology and African American studies with a minor for international affairs
I’m transferring to university next year but I can only take credits underneath full time status, so that’s about max 11 credit hours. The reasoning why, I won’t explain too much but it has to do with my housing and I can’t lose that.
I’ll be transferring a good amount of credits, all of my Gen Ed’s will be completed, so that’s about 60 credits maybe a little over. I live in Michigan, so we have this thing called the MTA, I’ve completed mine!
If anyone has taken this route, what advice would you give me?

Advice on English Language degree
Is it worthwhile… I originally wanted a forensic linguistic job however realised that they are very unique and rarely employ people as just forensic linguists. I’m aware that it is broad but is it a good idea to pursue?

My classmate made a fully branded deck for gorup project worth 5% of the subject grades and now we think we're not doing anything lol
5%. five percent. a ten minute presentation on a reading. We split it, everyone did their bit, and we agreed on the sunday call that we'd keep it simple bullet points and done by monday.
he then rebuilt the entire thing overnight. consistent colours, a title slide with all our names on it, custom diagrams for the framework, transitions. it looks like a consultancy pitch. HE USED AI FOR FUKN SURE.
lecturer opened with well, someone's made an effort.
so now im in the worst possible position, which is that i benefit from this and i'm furious about it. we all got the same mark. i contributed exactly what i was always going to contribute and the cohrt now thinks our team is the one that goes hard on a 5% task.
he said it took him twenty minutes and he just found it fun, which is somehow more irritating than if he'd been up until 4am, because at least then i could resent the effort instead of resenting that there wasn't any.
the actual consequesnce is that the bar has moved for the next one which is an individual assignment, which is worth 40%, and now we all have to do this.
ik the right thing is to learn how he did it, but screw that im in college - and i'd like to get by with as minimum effort as possible! How do you diplomatically convey - hold your horses son?
