For me, the problem with digital notes is that studying through a screen makes me very tired very fast, unlike paper notes. Paper notes work better for me, but each person is different and has their own methods. Love your videos :)

I would say this is advance technique. I think his point is that from here you can easily chop it into flash cards and make it searchable. The problem I face in my masters program is that I am now facing a lot of more information being thrown at me that I need to process a lot faster than in my undergraduate classes. So I need to short cut the whole notetaking process as much as possible and spend more time learning. Old way, condensing notes by writing summary notes at least once. New way from original notes break it into digital flash cards and use focus on anki. If something anki doesn’t make sense, search old notes to see how it fits. Also this allow more time for supplemental material to come in. You’re still putting a lot time of time to study but you’re now filling holes in understanding versus just rewriting notes. also also allows you to review flash cards wherever you are at the right time and no less. It’s scary to do something different but needs necessitate change and for someone like me who’s handling a full time masters program in Engineering and Computer Science, and two separate jobs/complex projects that takes up 30++ hours all of which requires me to being physically there. Yea I have to be focus and very time disciplined. This coming from the guy who love physical books, loving the feel of turning pages, and the scent of old books.

I feel the same. I personally take all my notes on mu laptop as it's easier for me to type and to add pictures or schemes. Then i re-read my notes to erase the information that is not relevant and i rearange everything to make sure everuthing is clear. Then i print all my notes and i underline and study through them. It works perfectly for me because it allows me to make perfect notes (as i can type fast so i don't leave any info out and i can add pictures to make everything clearer) and then to study i just print it

I need to write to fix information in my brain so I first read and highlight from my Ipad the notes/book, then write the essential parts on paper (like schemes) and then use my grapich tablet to "repeat" by writing very fast and ugly key words and then I'll repeat (active recall) typing on the keyboard very fast. The paper schemes then will be useful for review day. I've found this method to work for me.

For these 2 years in med uni I learnt that there's no wrong way of studying or way of writing notes,all methods are good as soon as they help at least one person to understand the material (the only wrong methong is to procrastinate all year and learn everything for a day). Also taking paper notes, I think on this way, help in one type of disciplines and digital notes in others,even no notes help. I see this in me-I don't like to write in anatomy,when I see it,I immediately understand it (okay,maybe sometimes I add like a summary),biochemistry in pictures and some little explanation is bomb and physiology-writing and imagination hahah. Summary: It doesn't matter how you learnt something,it matters that you did it,it worked for you and you enjoyed the process of learning the particular thing. No work=no results P.S. Happy and calm celebrations!

I made handwritten notes for years. YEARS. Not during lectures but during my study time as well. But this year it felt like it was too much. I was running short on time and writing was time-consuming, not to mention the awful hand cramps I got when trying to cram studying for my midterm into a few days. So I was forced to just type my notes since I had no time and then found out it was AMAZING. Less time, looks a lot neater, and it's very easy to share with my friends or access from any device. You can even easily search for keywords!! Now I just have empty notebooks lying around :))

I think writting done notes on paper really helps in storing information. However, the amount of material and content you receive in university is a lot. Its nearly impossible to sit down and make proper notes like high school. So students then tend to move to digital note taking which makes the process a bit fast.

I work with a hybrid system, I take handwritten notes in lectures and use digital notes for seminar prep. Especially as a law student, the digital notes for my readings helps me to work efficiently and stops there being 10 pages of notes from a reading. The handwritten lectures get typed up as well as part of revision and help to memorise the key info.

After researching on youtube for months on digital note taking and whether or not to make the switch... I recently purchased an iPad for digital note-taking, and it has been one best decisions I've ever made. When you buy the right accessories for your iPad, it can make the whole process better. It is WAY more organized, and I find it fun to be able to easily access pictures on google to help you with your notes. This is one of those decisions that I do not regret and has made school and note taking a lot more fun.

You’re correct that digital note taking is more efficient but I think handwriting notes taught you how to filter what was important to write down thus not just typing everything verbatim. Otherwise a person who went straight to digital note taking will zone out the material and end up with lots of information but no real association with the material. I’ve been guilty of this where I had accidentally typing my conversation with my roommate while listening to a lecture.

I spent my first year of uni experimenting. I started handwriting everything, and typing up summaries, but found that since everything that was said was important I was missing information. I then switched to typing during the lectures and writing out a condensed version (ideally within 24 hours) so I still got the benefit of handwriting info, but I found with readings and assignments, I got weeks behind in writing it out. For the past two years I have typed my notes, and also typed my summaries, and I've found it works for me. Especially since for some of my courses, we wouldn't find out the purpose of the lectures until the last one in a chunk, so I really just needed to write down everything that was said so I could later go through and figure out what was important!

Consider instead of condensing, just use abbreviations of key words. So let's say you do this for 5 pages, then try to do recall using only the abbreviations. You will miss a lot. Add a few more notes and abbreviations you need so you can get through it. You always keep your original long version as a back-up key to double check yourself.

I think the main thing is to be able to recall things and learn them. If you write on paper or on a ipad, it all comes down to the fact how well you are able to grasp it. And it only comes with multiple revision, not just one time writing. So digital or traditional note making, it's upto you how much time you are giving to read those notes again and again and again.

Really interesting video. Quite beneficial and useful! I would like to mention two aspects that for me make handwritten notes useful/needed: 1. I studied computer science in university and this required lots of math related subjects. I prefer to use handwritten notes when it comes to solving math problems. 2. Photographic memory is the foundation for me. I have taken most of my exams thanks to it. I have found that it works better for me when being used in combination with handwritten notes. For some reason I find it easier to visualise it in my head. 3. If you use iPad + Pencil for handwritten notes you can still have the search ability and accessibility covered. That being said I prefer to type my notes when it comes to reading non fiction books where I want to keep a list of quotes and references. I also prefer to type my notes when it comes to subjects involving lots of power point presentations and pdf files.

Thanks for clearing this out. I felt that this explanation completes the video prior to this one. I really think at different times, different subjects, the techniques used vary and it also depends on the person. I hate looking at a screen for a long time and that is why notes work for me. I have also been in courses when the content is so massive that note taking simply does not work, and honestly typing also took too much time, I simply would underline/digitally highlight the key things and flip through the pages to read them before tests and it made the studying process really fast. I am still trying other things like reviewing past summary notes 5 to 10 minutes every other day to see how this works on long term memory. Different things work at different times.

I found that at first taking handwritten notes and then converting them into digital notes for studying is best for me. + when I feel like something isn't explained well enough I can add some information to my notes, I then *try* to organise my handwritten notes in case I want to look back on it. But tbh after a few years of studying it's just too much stuff flying around so I only keep things like equations that are a pain to write on a laptop.

Doesn't it take too much time? It is basically taking notes twice, although this is a good way to study and remember things.

I think if u can't rewatch lectures and they are only available once then typing them is good and then going a=back and writing them to understand the information is better since u wanna be able to capture everything however if ur able to rewatch them at ur own pace then writing them makes more sense

Best of both worlds is handwritten digital notes. You have the search-ability and flexibility of adding images or pictures, but get that brain processing of writing by hand. I like to use the notability app on an ipad. But I can totally understand that it might get inefficient when you have no time so whatever fits your situation best.

Your point is well taken, you should use what you are comfortable with. However, if you are willing to experiment a bit you may find that there is a combination that might work even better. The iPad for taking basic notes can work well. But if you are like me and they get more illegible the faster I try to write..then they are a curse and a blessing. Definitely better than paper notes...but it's a little lacking. Some of the apps convert your handwriting to text..but again if your handwriting is messy the conversion will be messy. I do like the concept of a Cornell Notes mode of taking notes on iPad and in the left-hand column keeping the Questions that need to be in your flashcard decks....Goodnotes has added some Flashcard capabilities or you can use REMNOTE. Fun fact, I have used ChatGPT AI to generate a set of Flashcards as a starting point...this is evolving nicely. A productivity note we all use then forget...Voice to Text..Easy to do on Mac or in iPad apps.

I have been going to a tech school these last two years of high school for medical assisting to get my foot in the door for the medical field. My school introduced me to a note-taking style that has helped me tremendously and all there is to it is a print out of the lecture and then writing down what my teacher says that is either not in the notes or what would be important on the tests. To revise I would go through the powerpoint over and over through out the week and then there would also be a study guide now obviously when i get to college there won't be study guides but I think i am going to turn my lectures and notes into quizlet questions and sets to revise. We will see when I get to premed this fall but if anyone has any tips definitely let me know :)))

I’m a med student and I also work part time as a medical transcriptionist and film captioner.. having the divide between my work and studies is essential so I don’t mix anything up or overwhelm myself. I’m super used to typing out everything that I have to transcribe for work and super used to hand writing study notes on physical pieces of notebook paper. Typing and writing basically act as two different headspaces for me to click into when I’m either working or studying so I guess that acts as my way of separating the two different realms. Recently tho, I’ve taken interest in learning stenography, which I started mainly as a hobby bc I thought the system was interesting but also for the added benefit of typing quicker than I ever would on qwerty, whether it be for transcription or writing up some essays or just for fun lol. As well as that, over the summer I think I’m gonna try learning how to write in shorthand, again just out of pure interest but it’s also something that could help me in lectures when I wanna write down a bunch of info to review later on/transfer into longhand notes for easier study. Oh and I’ve been looking to get an iPad (med student without an ipad yet, crazy i know lol) for taking down notes so that I can bring my notes anywhere without having to lug around big fat notebooks and folders full of paper. Despite the existence of paperlike and other types of screen protectors that emulate the feeling of writing on paper, I’m still worried about having to sacrifice the satisfaction of writing on actual paper and flipping over pages and the familiar muscle memory I’m used to on paper; for the benefit of having all of my notes and books crammed onto a slab of glass and metal lol

When I attended the University through my master's programs, I took many hand written notes. Like yourself, finding information on a broader scale is daunting. When isolating information, hand written notes work well. The notion application will definitely assist when organizing notes.
