    Because undergraduate was easy. I could skip most classes and never study and still pass (had a 4.0 too, so it wasn't like it hurt my grades). The only things I had trouble with were early graduate level abstract mathematics (group theory... Oh how I hated that) and quantum mechanics (primarily because I tried to understand it... It did not work).

    Everything else was simple to me. Engineering was a joke, literature could be improvised the day of, calculus is second nature to me, chemistry is basically arithmetic, philosophy just requires logic and a bit of wordplay, history I memorized as of ninth grade, and I avoided physical fitness because... Well, reasons. And I took high level courses in all those subjects, too.

    i sure do.... because nuf is my school... it has a lot of classes like "how to recognize a pervert 101" "psychology focused on mental illnesses" "biology of a trap and similar species" "social studies of harem relationships" "advanced studies of fetishes"; it also has practical classes like "internet beating" (fs teacher sure has a temper...) "hijaking for starters" "a practical study of spam" (this class is popular, it even has many teachers under @Pie ) and many others...

    During high school I couldn't really do it... I can't read on mobile, it's extremely uncomfortable for me. As for classes where I had a computer, there was only during informatics which were only 3 hours per week in the first 2 years and the next 2 it was 7 hours per week, also that was my favorite class so I wouldn't skip on it. Even if I had a computer available at other classes I probably still wouldn't because I prefer having a bit of privacy...

    I am a student that is between the good-average ratio. NUF is a nice way to pass the time especially when you are a loner-ish person.

    I still listen to class lectures but I am completely hopeless in Math and PE. Other subjects I can do well when I am diligent enough... which rarely happens.

    Anyway, NUF is a illusory yet happy place in the lonely, monochromatic prison that is called school.

    As for reading, that's even less of a subject because I can't concentrate on it when there's surrounding noise. And my classroom was noisy as f*ck, even during classes. Actually I was so annoyed I almost swore at the supervisor during an exam because he just couldn't shut his trap... he kept talking with other students about life and whatever in a somewhat loud voice and I couldn't concentrate on reading the problems...

    I know how you feel. I really do not like noisy people. They interfere with other people's businesses.

    When I was in school I would get on for a bit when things got slow or I found myself dozing off.

    Oh, so basically, you had a good foundation and somewhat an above average perception. Lucky to be in your situation (former, not latter) then.

    And isn't group theory learned in undergraduate? At our univ, Algebraic relations; groups; pemiutation groups; groups of symmetries; group action; rings; integral domain; fields are learned at 2nd year 2nd sem. Or are you a physics major and not a math major?

    Not exactly for the first. My schooling has usually been pretty low level at best, but I am extremely good at self study and understand things at an unusual rate. So I guess you could call that above average perception?

    Yes, group theory is learned in undergraduate. For math majors, which I wasn't until senior year. I graduated as a double (well, triple technically but the third doesn't count) major.

    Yes, since if I'm reading manga or something the people behind me or the TA would notice.
    I only do this in big classes though, since my smaller classes don't have slides and we have to take notes just on the lecture :\

    Back when I went to school, they sort of frowned on cellphones and such in class. Many teachers would just outright collect your cell if they saw you with it, and maybe give it back at the end of the school day, maybe demand your parents pick it up. .. Any class that used a computer was okay, but I mostly goofed around on those in different ways. No reading online at the time~

    As far as reading at school goes, I usually carried a book.

    Books are these things people used to read a looooong time ago, if you don't know.
