If you’re using a laptop or tablet for your note-taking, get rid of any possible distractions before class starts (generally we’d recommend taking notes by hand, but some people do prefer to type).
Close all other tabs or programs you have running and turn the WiFi off so you’re not tempted to check social media or get distracted by notifications.
You might think it’s useful to have WiFi on in case you have to look something up that you’re not sure about, but believe us – now is not the time.
Just take note of what you want to research and save the browsing for after the lecture. Otherwise, you’ll end up off on a mad Wikipedia tangent and have no idea what’s been going on for the last half an hour.
