Really? I thought freshmen were usually really eager about their work since they don't really know the tricks of the trade yet; I used to do my notes twice so I could maximize my knowledge retention. The older I got, the more crafty I became and the less work I did. The only thing that I neglected freshman year was my in-class participation. I was so shy and insecure that I barely spoke. By the end of sophomore year though, no one could shut me up!
