What method do you use to summarize lecture slides in order to study them afterwards? I always use TeX because once you are pro in it there is nothing faster, especially when you have lots of variables/equations (Word is a pain). I use it mostly for semi-mathematical text-summaries and learn equations by writing them down by hand. I can't read through large blocks of text written by hand, my mind goes crazy. TeX on the other hand is nicely formatted.
what's wrong with your start menu?

Just download the powerpoint you retard.
> he studies slides

>Use LaTeX because muh typography.
>Still uses \underline to emphasize text in a text designed for print.

You do it all in plain TeX ?

org-mode, then export to tex if needed.

nothing, its Win7 set to classic and I installed one of the old color themes from before win7

powerpoint is filled with clutter, I mostly summarize the text part that is likely to be asked in interpretation/intuition questions on the exam, the other mathematical part I study by hand and go through exercises / problem sets.

what's wrong with \underline, its just how I learned it and it stuck with me

I have a template with all the usepackage stuff on top, then I just start typing in the document area, I never use any buttons or anything, I just type the code. Pretty easy and actually almost as fast if not faster than Word.

So in other words, "I can't understand things."

It's a typographical faux pas. You simply don't do it. If you need to emphasize text use \textit or \textbf. \underline is something you do in handwriting, not in print. You have all those appropriate possibilities, you better use them.

No, stuff like 3 slides about AR(p) and MA(q) models, which I already know inside out from other classes I took, I just filter the information I need for the exam, and compress probably 300-400 pages of PDF to about 15 to study by heart for the exam. The approach works for me.
