Problem: Article: Open up a document page before class so you're ready to type once the lecture begins. If you think you will need any resources during the lecture (such as a dictionary), open up these tabs beforehand so you're ready to use them. If you are prone to surfing the internet during the lecture, turn off your internet signal before the lecture starts. This way, you can give your complete attention to the instructor. One benefit of taking notes on a laptop is how efficiently you can work during class. Pay attention to your teacher or professor's cues, and concentrate on what they say. If they emphasize a certain point, make sure you type it down. If your professor or teacher writes on a whiteboard or prepares a powerpoint presentation, do not copy their words down exactly. You will be much more likely to remember their points if you type them down in your own words. If you organize your notes as you type them, you'll be able to access them while studying when you need them. The options for organizing your notes are limitless. Many handwritten methods adapt well to note-taking; marrying organization skills with a laptop's efficiency makes for notes taken quickly and thoroughly. Experiment with various note-taking styles until you find what works for you. Every student learns differently, and you may find that one style works much better than another. Keep all your lecture notes the same file folder so you know where to find them later on. Make sure to title file names as you go so you know where certain information is. Title and date all your notes so you know which notes are from what lecture. This will help you remember which information was presented when as you study later. If for some reason you are unable to attend class, use your laptop to email instructors and receive information about upcoming projects or tests. You may even be able to video chat your instructors to discuss missing lectures or assignments. If you're going to be gone for an extended amount of time, ask your teacher or professor if you could video chat via another laptop-using student during lectures. In this way, you can listen to and even participate in class discussion during long-term absences.
Summary: Come to class prepared. Listen to your instructor. Organize your notes. Keep in touch during vacations or sick days.

Problem: Article: You can deal with people talking about you behind your back by remembering that their words are a reflection of them, not you. You can't choose what others say about you, but you can choose how you react to it. Write off gossiping as something the other person needed to do for themselves. Refuse to be a victim of someone else's issues. For example, recognize that a person who gossips may be doing so because they feel insecure and are trying to make themselves look better by putting others down. It may not feel like it when people are talking negatively about you, but this often happens because there's something about you that intimidates them. The person may be envious of your looks, abilities, or popularity. Their nasty words may simply be a way to hurt you. If someone is jealous of you, try to be nice to them. This will give them less gossip fuel. Another common denominator about those who gossip is low self-esteem. People who talk badly about you may do that to make themselves feel better. The person talking about you may regularly feel negatively about themselves or lack self-respect. As a result, they talk negatively about others, too. That's why treating a gossip kindly or complimenting them may end the negative comments. These people may simply want some positive attention because they feel bad deep inside.
Summary:
Don't take it personally. Realize they may be jealous. Recognize poor self-esteem.
