    “Shhh! Don’t tell the students that letting them make a note card is actually tricking them into studying! SHHH!”

    Philosophy students: Turn up with the textbook along with all of their notes, and write a dissertation on why it all qualified as “one-sided.”

    Honestly, if I saw that in class I wouldn’t care because it’s funny and helps with real world examples of some concepts

    I remember buying jumbo note cards after my professor said we were allowed to bring a notecard without specifying the size.

    I also remember commandeering my school’s ultra high resolution poster printer in order to print notes in extremely small font, alongside using LaTeX to let me format the document in a way that maximized my ability to stuff it full of information. The person who helped me do that let me know that the note sheet alone cost the school roughly $4.00/double sided page, or 1/100th the lab fee for the class I printed it for, even though that class had no lab and was in a regular, non-lab lecture hall.

      Oh jeez, I just wrote every symbol and formula in the biothermo textbook really fucking small. My eyes still could handle such things when I was young and hadn’t done things like that repeatedly

    I saw a meme about using red and blue ink and old 3D glasses with one red lens and one blue. That seemed pretty smart.
