It gets you into the habit of reviewing your notes daily.
As for outlets, you'll have to position yourself in the classroom to find a outlet and bring an extension cord with a power strip(share the weath).

I know this is a year old, but I needed to know if there were plenty of electrical outlets in the classroom for laptops (just in case 4-5 hours of battery life isn't enough). Did they do any electrical work in these classrooms since this time?
Now I was all for handwriting my notes, but I've been reading that people write their notes in the note section of powerpoint. Does anyone still handwrite?? I was originally considering a 17" notebook to bring down to the island, until I read that people made a habit of bringing their notebooks to class. So I've downgraded to a 15.4". I don't know what kind of desks we will get, and in case we get one of those flip-up desks, then my notebook should be just fine.
