I exclusively wrote everything down with a pen, since I was not going to bring a laptop everywhere and somehow get it to stay powered for so many hours. Not to mention that it would have been terrible to draw schematics etc.
The best were those courses where you could prepare a "cheat sheet", so then I go over everything and put key information and formulas into a word document. So I go over my notes, then have to filter them and then write the key things again. Maximum retention, as I can tell you 10 years later.
You can plug it into an outlet to power it.
In most of the classrooms I've been to, there's like one outlet for every 10 people. That's not a reliable option, especially if you pack classes back to back like I did.
I can't say I've ever been to classes that have that issue or have heard anyone with a similar complaint.
If it's really that much of a problem for your specific school, class, or just you (for some reason), then it can easily be remedied with a power strip, or several if that's really how bad it is.
I'm reluctant to take your word at face value, though. Lots of hyperbole going on on these forums.
