^+1 to above but also depends on how you're coping Some people are quick and independent thinkers and can learn complex concepts sufficiently from lectures alone, whereas others might need to have a read of textbooks in addition before feeling confident - but generic rule at least in science...

Highly advised against as it ia considered at least to be academic dishonesty. You may have done the work before but can't use it claiming that is is a NEW work if it has preivously been published (either publicly or just to university). Turnitin system exists for that - it will crosscheck...

From my experience (not to brag but as a HD science student), you'll probably quickly get used to it but depends on lecture Maths --> copy board Non-maths sci --> write notes if and only if slides provided are missing some rather pertinent info Then the decision there as to whether to take...

Wow, is it really possible to do that with only 20 mice? Somehow I need ridiculously large number of mice if I can't do a staged operation... namely 500,000.
