I'm actually the opposite, all my notes are very condensed and I take a lot of 'shortcuts' when I'm writing them down, to the point where my friends always have to ask me what it means. But I understand it and since all the information is in the shortest form possible, it's easier for me to remember.

"Professors that talk really fast" My econs lecturer was a beast, 1.5hr class and she finishes it in 30 mins basically, I could barely take down any notes during her class

@paigeconnelly4244 4 жыл бұрын

I had a lecturer for my Spectroscopy module (Chem degree) who, the first lecture we had with her, showed us the feedback she'd received from the two previous years. At the end of the semester, students have to submit anonymous feedback for lecturers and their teaching. She got a top score for the content, but a really low score for lecture flow. She showed us on the slide that most of her feedback was "moves on too fast, can't take notes quick enough and gain an understand the material at the same time". I thought she was going to say "I'm taking this on board and slowing down a bit for this module". No, she showed us all this and then said "well, this is MY lecture, so if you can't keep up, tough". So basically, HUNDREDS of students over MANY years have told her that she goes WAY too fast, and doesn't explain or answer questions (this is compared to all other lecturers they've had for the semester) and she thought that the problem wasn't with her, it was with the other hundreds of people. Needless to say, her module was consistently the one people had their lowest mark on.

i've used my ipad gen 6 (2018), an apple pencil and the onenote app for this last school year i'm a third year uni student and i can honestly say this is hands down the best thing i ever did!, you can insert your slides and write your notes right beside them so you always know what note was made about what point, you can use the split screen feature to have your book on one side and your notes on the other , you can easly rewrite notes to make them more orgnized without the guilt of wasting paper, you can save all the notes you toke from past cources easly, no need to carry pens, books, slides, paper as you can easly replace all of them with the ipad it's really great I LOVE IT only down side tho is you can't use it to upload homework or assignmants to blackboard

Some things I thought I think are worth mentioning: One Note: -It supports pressure sensitivity, so your strokes get thicker the more pressure you add. This makes your handwriting ten times better and more paper like - It also has a really good lasso tool which does exactly what the goodnote lasso tool does. - You can change your paper type, that means you get lined or boxed pages -It's really good to import pics and pdfs to write notes on. About the iPad and apple pencil thing: - Don't get an iPad Pro, it is super expensive especially for people who won't be using the hell out of it. - A great alternative is the iPad 6, has exactly half of all the features of the iPad Pro, and it supports Apple Pencil. This makes it really good for people using it for hobbies/studying. Also, it's half the price at $329. -If you're a college student, Apple has a really good student discount over its products!

I got a bonus at my old job last year, and I opted to use it for an iPad and the new Apple Pencil (gen2). It was probably the most expensive indulgence I have ever made, and I was TERRIFIED to use it. I am heavy handed, so the screen was freaking me out some, even though I really liked the options for it. One of the things I purchased to make my life easier was a screen cover/protector. The one I have is a thicker plastic, but it doesn't affect the use of the screen at all. So if you, like me, are heavy handed and scared of using the screen, invest in a screen protector! I now use my iPad all the time and I am much more confident about using it.

@@MrGarg10may In OneNote on Windows Desktop you can set the page size to A4 or literally any other size you want, because you can set the actual size (or choose a preset size, like A4).

I loved your video on this! I'm looking to pick up a tablet soon so I can start taking handwritten notes in one place instead of 50 notebooks. Also, not sure if anyone else needs a decent flashcard app, but Anki is a free tool that lets you create flashcards that you can sync across your devices (you can also use drawings, insert pictures, etc). I also really like that it dynamically shows you the material you actually need to learn (i.e. you'll see flashcards you get wrong more often so you can actually learn the material).

I always loved taking notes on paper but now that I really need to be sustainable I try to use only recycled paper and looking into digital notetaking as well. Maybe you can address that aspect in your videos too, more people need to be aware of our environmental changes, and this is a really good way to do that! (what you showed in the vid)

@amelie4905 4 жыл бұрын

Using paper is better for the environment than using digital note taking. Paper can be easily recycled, but keeping your notes on a cloud uses a lot of energy to make the database server work.

You know more people buying ipads is way worse than “chopping down trees”. More ipads = more mining of metals such as cobalt and lithium in developing countries by children trying to earn enough money to get food. Mining ruins environment. Think about all the pollution that it will take to make just the battery of the ipad. And a lot of paper manufacturers use bamboo. And bamboo grows extremely fast. Also especially in the U.S they take trees down in a sustainable manner so there’s enough time for other trees to grow. Developing countries don’t even care about sustainability.

I find the “review & formatting” part of note taking extremely important, and enjoyable. Using boxes, bullets, white space, and underlining etc. is what makes hand written notes so much more powerful than typing into Word on a laptop. I like to go back later and fill out my notes when I have more time. It’s nice to be able to move my writing around on the page after the fact. I use GoodNotes for taking notes at work on my iPad Pro. I’m a corporate accountant.
