Education these days is modern and high-tech, I said to myself and brought my best laptop to class.
None of the other students did. The teacher distributed notebooks and pens. To learn a piece of information, she told us, you have to ponder it actively for at least 30 seconds - preferably by writing it down, talking about it and practicing it.
Hence the slow pace and the note-taking by hand, I presume. There is also talking and practicing. The teacher even speaks in a slow, soothing voice. It should drive me crazy.
But after the first hour, I found myself soothed into a pensive but alert state of mind - and remembering the information afterwards.
I'm back to studying - slowly - and I relish it.
