Currently studying for an exam tomorrow, and I now realize why I'm always so sleepy in class: the prof. speaks sooo sloowllyy with pauses - in-between - most words. I can't keep focused because of that; thankfully, he has narrated powerpoints that I can download and watch... at 3x normal speed. Which is nice because a 37 minute video is now 12 minutes, but goddamn it makes classes so rough.

It really depends on the professors cadence for me. Some professors move from topic to topic at a good pace and I don't feel the need. Some really talk slow and linger on each point and those I need to go 1.5 or 2x speed
