People who write in textbooks

>people who write in textbooks

>Autists who care about writing in textbooks

Notes taken in textbooks enhance the teaching capability of the book.

drives me nuts

That shit is messy. Write notes in a spare notebook.

Even worse is when people highlight shit.

>open book in university library
>one guy went through a couple chapters and underlined 2/3 of the text

ive seen people sit and highlight a textbook for an hour and call it a "good study session"

>open textbook
>someone turned a telescope into a dick

>open textbook
>someone turned a dick into a telescope

>turn to page 485
>medical illustration of female breasts

>open textbook about elliptic curves
>book is old enough to include Taniyami-Shimura-Weil conjecture
>book is old enough to not know it's been solved
>some autist scribbles in that Wiles has proved it with a bunch of exclamation points
>and calls it Frey-Serre-Ribet conjecture for some reason, even though they were just responsible for proving Taniyami-Shimura-Weil implies FLT

My professor pulled out his personal copy of a particular textbook and every page had a dozen lines highlighted in different colors, yellow pink blue purple.

>Not buying all of your textbooks new

>open dick
>someone turned a book into a telescope

>have to do tests and quizzes out of textbook
>someone has underlined all the answers
>half of them are wrong

From this point on, I'm underlining half right, half wrong answers in every textbook I sell back.

>Buying your textbooks

>not pirating your textbooks
fucking pleb

>turn to page 122
>turn to page 35
>turn to page 203
>turn to page 98

It's shitposting in book format

user, I think you have a mistaken a chose your own adventure book with your text book.

>Open telescope
>Some guy turned a dick into a book

Not when it is written in the pages of a math textbook.

when I discovered these it was the second coming of the J himself

the only issue is they sometimes leave a faint coloured shape where they were stuck

>open /sci
>some guy turned a dick joke into a telescope book

Highlighting is such a fucking meme holy shit. I guess the people who do it fall for the fallacy of "I spent a long time doing something inane so surely it must have been productive"

>take Rudin out from library
>spend lots of time understanding it
>write in book to enhance clarity of content
>done with the long trek of learning from Rudin bring it back to library satisfied
>it is there with my written enhancements for the rest of the math student populous to admire and learn from
>mfw

writing "boobs" on your textbook is educational.

Brainlets with highlighters are awful.

[loosely related tangent]

They're almost as bad as people who write study guides that are half the length of the book.

My favorite one is one people who study math and science without actually solving the problems themselves. That only works if you completely understand the material, but you usually can't get to that point without solving problems. Too many dummies would rather read the book five times than buckle down and do some exercises and it almost never works the way they think it will.

Could be worse...

Highlighting is good for marking important passages so when you go back to study later you turn a say 20+ minute chore into a 5-10 minute read with the fluff cut out.

If you never go back and read it again it's a waste of time.

Wew lad

>open textbook to the first few pages of Table of Contents

>"go to page 407"
>page 407, crudely drawn human anatomy or vulgar insults about someone at school
