As a person who teaches the occasional course: This is super easy to tell guys. No one looks at course notes on their laptop and smiles.

Maybe this is Hamburger Uni

I ignored all my lectures. I did record them with my phone. The info was on the whiteboards online. Only had to be there for attendance.
PropainAndPropainAccesories
For me I was allowed to do my work early. I would do my entire semester first week but still had to show for attendance. Yeah I'd play too

It is one of the Stand-o-Food games. There are 3, last I heard.
FortressCraft
I'm either ashamed or proud to know that it appears to be Shopping Mania 3. Tho there are many, many other games like it.
fishwrecker
Nope. Stand-o-Food.

took up through calc in highschool. made me take algebra/pre calc in college. private schools suck....
Sheepyhead
I listen better if I can occupy myself with a simple game or a fidgeting tool or something like that.
puppyflips
Paid no attention in school, barely bumbled through college, got an unstressful job with 0 supervision, play games at work, guess I'm lucky

Give it a few years and they will replace you with someone younger and then you have no marketable skills to talk about

To be fair, there's a 50/50 chance she's majoring in a useless degree anyhow.
GeneCode
Plot twist: she is a genius and OP is dumb.
OneCoolFrood
Well... OP is using snapchat in class to make fun of another student for not paying attention, so there's a good probability.

My university didn't give me my AP bio credit. Played Warcraft 3 in the back of class all first semester. Aced that shit.
TheGodDamnDownvoteFairy
I'm browsing imgur while ignoring my lecture... I'm just gonna pretend I didn't saw this post...
Oath93
Honestly, though, in general, if you won't pay attention, don't show up - you're just wasting your time.
YourLocalSnitch
You must be ignoring your English professor.

I was on Imgur during Maths lecture earlier and have a complete set of notes for the lecture. Maybe you don't belong in college :P
anonaltone
*see
TheGodDamnDownvoteFairy
Looks like Imgur is very serious about using the right tense, but I hope you all can forgive me. For my excuse, I only had 2 hours of sleep
TheBlackVan
I didn't saw you in English class, either.
Lonehoof
*see. Pay attention in class.

Maybe, just maybe, English isn't their first language.
TheGodDamnDownvoteFairy
You would be correct.
kittykat
Why are you paying for something you're ignoring? I hope you learn how to write before you graduate.
TheGodDamnDownvoteFairy
I'm not. I'm in Europe, English is my 2nd language and considering I only used wrong tense while only having 2h of sleep, I think I'm fine.
ZombieTrooper
Remember that there are people who can do both tasks at the same time. Listening memory - what a frightening thing.
TheBestRussian
I have to draw to pay attention, or play a mindless game to focus my thoughts (eg Tetris or bejewelled).
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Yeah, sure, whatever you C students tell yourselves.
ZombieTrooper
I graduated long time ago with good diploma. Working right now as Sysadmin in big pharma company here in sweden
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Does "good diploma" mean "good grades"?
SnivellusSnape
Science has hardcore shut down the brain's ability to multi task in any real way. Excepting only Some quiet music.
leetshoe
Why would science do that to our brains?
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED2
Multitasking helps some people focus is a better way to say it. A lot of people with adhd tend to self cope by multitasking without realizin
Ansatsunin
"Science"? Umm.. Wha-? Explain.
SnivellusSnape
Nah u can google stuff like "multitasking disproven"
Ansatsunin
.. That was not a clear way of wording yourself.. "Science has hardcore shut down the brain's ability to multi-task.."?
DinaRaven
I multitask by being able to switch attention from one task to the next, but you're right, "real" multitasking has been disproven.
storebrandproductmascot
There are people who think they can, but I'd wager most of them aren't nearly as good at it as they think.
rollercostarican
you dont have to be good, you just have to be good enough
hearthstoneaccount3
There are also those of us who forget everything after a week and must relearn everything prior to the exam as if we had never been taught
hearthstoneaccount3
at which point attending the lessons is mostly worthless because fuck I don't remember how to do anything without textbooks / google
AndreKroon
I can pretty easily do it. On the opposite side though if I try to take notes at the same time I pretty much don't remember anything.
ZombieTrooper
True, there are people who brag about being an multi tasker yet suck at it. While there are others who do it unconciously.
Moffenson
Im at work which is 60% imgur, 30%coffee, and 10% talking to strangers.
hippybobby
What do you do the other 20% of the time?
AmArschdieRaeuber
You skipped class, too?
perey
Nah, it works. Imgur and coffee can totally overlap. And if you comment, so do Imgur and talking to strangers.
hippybobby
What about pooping and imgur?
perey
Better than mixing pooping with either talking to strangers or coffee!
stopitlucas
Some gen ed classes are ridiculously boring
kapp70
Like ridiculously so. If one cannot ace them whilst fucking about, they should seriously question whether college is for them.
mattsolid
Had to take a simple math class for college. Once it clicked, I remembered how to do it easily. Fought sleep the rest of the semester
kranchan
I had a prof who only talked about how great Negro Modelo was and how "hard" it was to find. It was at Wal-mart down the road.

They're meant to keep your debt to the university well rounded. Rounded way up there. Sky high.

My first computer class was mandatory. I didn't learn a thing a fucked off the ENTIRE time
RxDealer
Idk if anyone else has to take it, but I had to take a "First-Year Seminar" that was supposed to help freshmen transition from highschool
RxDealer
I took it my sophomore year because they forgot to sign me up for it
CoachDechant
I have that and it is the most BS class ever.
rabbiebabbie
I'm I'm grad school and we still have a weekly seminar but it's basically watching a different lecturer present a research topic each week
lawlerz
For me it was a 1 credit class and it basically taught us how to do are homework. The worst part was attendance was part of your grade.
Aeturo
I had that too. I sat in this weird little area where the wall jut in so the teacher couldnt see me and slept. Did my assignments last day
DysgraphicProgrammer
Even High level major classes, if you are the freak who get that concept the first time. Read a book while the prof explains 3 more times.
professionallazyperson
Some classes are weird.I literally skipped tests the first half of the semester for Strength of Materials,aced the final so he gave me an A
professionallazyperson
I also only went to every class for the attendance credit and to hear what's on the tests that I mostly didn't take. Lots of doodling.
levish
It’s mostly the professors, I had one that kept me hooked in statistics
BurgerAndCries
I'm in a statistics class now. The average attendance of the 200 person lecture is close to 15 people. I'm not one of them.
BurgerAndCries
Please help me learn statistics
Coolbacca
Passing out a bump of coke before lecture started was an unorthodox teaching method but his attendance rate was phenomenal!
rabbiebabbie
You wanna wait till the end of class to hand out the coke otherwise guys are asking for seconds 15 minutes in
Andolomar
My uni is enforcing attendance, but all the lecturers do is read the slides and all the slides are released on Moodle. What's the point?
kittykat
Why are you attending that University? Sounds like you're not getting a quality education.
Andolomar
Because I'm already two years into it, there's no backing out now. Besides, it was good until this year. It's the retarded new faculty head
Andolomar
making stupid decisions so he can micromanage everybody and pad out his CV.
stopitlucas
Hopefully the quality changes after gen Ed bs
stopitlucas
Alot are like that. Plus out of state gets even more expensive
IamJustinSane
I’m not sure you’re supposed to be there for fun and excitement. There might be a different reason for getting an education.
NERDRAGEohacat
Some general electives serve no purpose than to keep professors employed. I had to take an Art Appreciation class for my CompSci degree.
JHawke
I for one have definitely had classes where I might as well have skipped the entire year and go straight to exams... Hell, we had a year >
JHawke
> long class 2 hours a week in BASIC office use. Exam questions in the direction of "what does the save button do" MULTIPLE CHOICE.
stopitlucas
Have you gone to university? Gen Ed is required before you get into the "fun" stuff that you are trying to get a degree in.
IamJustinSane
Yes, but not for fun, I went to get a degree so I could get a good job. Even classes that were useless, were necessary to get my degree.
stopitlucas
Yes. I get that. I'm saying some gen eds are a joke.
IamJustinSane
Most are, but necessary to get the credit. It’s a means to an end, you suck it up.
ThatSoundPeopleMakeWhenTheyStandUp
I had to take a class called "I'm so busy" that was for time management. An entire semester of "work before play." Could have done without.
Natatha
My "College Mathematics" teacher in my CJ program tried to tell us we needed to understand advanced trig for patrol duties. Na. I'm good fam
mahtax
He doesn't make the curriculum and wants to keep his job. It's only natural that he tries to rationalize that he's not useless?
Natatha
Nah. This was a bit beyond that. It was a basic math course that stretched into basic algebra and a little geometry for equations. 1/2
Natatha
He just wanted to show off. He was a lot like that. Didn't explain shit, just worked the problems himself on the board and couldn't answer?s
SuddenRandomFinnishGuy
Fam as family?
ConfuMeister
Fam means famoroa .

Fam is a very common surname in vietnam. Alternatively spelled Pham. (While true, this is also bullshit.)
