I know. I find it so hard to keep up with him because he goes though a slide show very fast and it is hard to write down everything I think will be on the test and the book is no help either.

There's a simple solution: don't write everything down. A typical set of chemistry notes, for example, for me runs more or less like:
Ksp -- sol'b'ty prod. const.
Ksp = [M^+][A^-]
Low sol'b --> small Ksp
Eg: Ksp for PbSO4 g'n sat soln conc = 0.00035M
Ans: 6x10^7-4
Eg: (another example question here, in the same shorthand)
Ans: (Answer here)
(etc)
...
And that might even be as much as I take down in an hour-long lecture. For the rest, I listen, and fill in the gaps fromthe book, and from any other sources I need to, if the textbook proves insufficient. Biology is more verbose than chem, indeed, but in the same way, you don't need to take everything down. Draw little pictures, too, if you can do that instead of writing a whole lot of words. An example for me would be chelating ligands: to describe verbally, I'd have to say "Chelate: a ligand that attatches to the metal ion at two points. Crab-like" Instead I drew a picture rather like: "Chelate: CO " ... giving the arms of the C their own little c-shaped claws.
XD Lectures were so scary before I figured all that out ^^;;;

My biology norebook is full of pictures to help me. We did two chapters for this test and I think that is how I failed. There were hardly any pictures for me to draw and the notes sucked. The review didn't help. He only asked question that wasn't on the test. The other test he gave us question that were on the test. I have passed those. I hate him so much.

Thank god I don't have lectures yet. -_-

Strangely enough I seem to be doing better in business than history, my passion... o.o

Ugh, less-than-fun.
*Laughs* That's odd.... maybe business studies is just more common sense, while history needs you to actually know stuff? Meh, I dunno.

Modern. Currently studying; Russia and its many revolutions. x_X 1905-17 or something. Russia is so confusing sometimes.

History's not boring. xD But then again, I still might be a history major too ^^
And I like art history. Introductory level art history classes that are just broad survey courses- now those I admit can get boring as hell, even though I'm hopefully double majoring with art history. But sometimes it just depends on how much the teachers sticks to the text.

I'm taking history for GCSE @ School. I'm wishing I hadn't now.
And and I'm taking art, too. I'm falling behind in it. D;

Oh, also, some of you might be interested in this roleplay: prettypixie04 It is the ninteenth century. Industry is booming in the lovely country of England. The cloth industry, the lumber industry, the food industry, and... the dream industry.
Approximately twenty years ago a young man named Tziga discovered the place. He just fell into it. The place is full of dreams, but nothing else. Nothing lives in the place besides scrawny groud shrub, dry sickly moss, and thick groves of ancient twisted trees. There is no water, no animals, nothing to sustain life besides dry dusty oxygen. However there are ruins of human dwellings in the Place, which accounts for one of the place's many mysteries. When going into the place one must bring water and food, because if you run out of either in the middle of the place you are doomed. The atmosphere in the place is so thin that dreamhunters are always very tanned. The air is so dry, that lips are often cracked just by sleeping a night in the place.
Upon returning from the place Tziga found he had caught a dream, and by doing so became the first dreamhunter the modern world had ever known.
But dreams are not things that can be caught in fancy bottles and jars. Tziga caught the dream, not with a net nor a container but with his mind. All he had to do was sleep in the place for one night, have a dream, then return, the dream caught in his mind.
The key to all of this was really, as Tziga soon discovered, that the dreams he caught could be transmitted to a number of people at a time, if they slept near the person who caught the dream. Because the dreams faded if the dreamhunter who carried them slept on their way back out of the place, anti-sleeping drugs became very common among dreamhunters.
Dreams became an overnight fad. Operas resembling hotels were built, with rooms that a person could buy tickets for to experience the dream that a hunter had caught. People from all over England rushed to where Tziga discovered the place, hoping that they too might become dreamhunters. However, very few even got into the place, and fewer still became competent dreamhunters. However, for those who did make it into the place, there were large amounts of money to be made, and there is an especially large demand for newfound dreams. Unfortunately, to meet the publics' demand for new dreams, the dreamhunters are pushing further and further into the place, and the place does not want all of its secrets penetrated.
Those who could enter the place, but not catch dreams were called rangers. They roam the place, and make sure that the dreamhunters do not bring back nightmares, and enforce the law of the corrupt government.
As more people became dreamhunters, it was discovered that there were different types of these people. Some dreamhunters could modify the dreams they caught, putting a different person from the original character in the dream. Some could have such beautiful and in depth dreams that the watcher could view the dream from any of the viewpoints of the characters in the dream story. There are also variations on how far a dreamhunter could send his or her dream.
The government also found many uses for the dreams. Besides being entertainment for the public, dreams had other uses. Some dreams could promote healing and self-rest, while in contrast other dreams, nightmares, were presented to prison inmates. Dreams in which they saw their own death, or were buried underground alive.
