Notion AI is a practically useful tool for students who find certain professors' accents or delivery pace challenging to follow in real time. Notion AI can transcribe lectures when run on a laptop during class, giving you a written record of what was said that you can review afterward. This does not replace active listening and note-taking but it creates a safety net for moments when the pace of delivery or the density of content causes you to miss material.

• The more important practice for managing difficult classes is to do the pre-reading before each lecture, if you have already read the relevant chapter or concept before class, the lecture is reinforcing something you have partial knowledge of rather than introducing everything cold, which makes it easier to follow even when the delivery is not ideal.
• Forming a small study group with two or three classmates who are conscientious note-takers creates a collective record that is more complete than any individual's notes, and the discussion that happens during group review often clarifies concepts that were unclear during the lecture itself.
