When I was in college, I wrote all my lecture notes on paper. Then, I would retype them digitally, adding color coding and the appropriate outline formatting. When I needed to study for an exam, I would print out those notes and use various highlighters to help me remember key items or group things together better in my mind. Using multiple formats helped me solidify the material (because I was writing it several times, whether on paper or digitally). Double review! Thanks for sharing this video! There's no "right" way, only the right way for each of us. :-)
Wow! That’s a well thought out system ! Thanks for sharing 😊 yes, no “right” way at all...one thing I love about this comment section right now is all the different methods people are sharing! It’s awesome!
Oh man I do the other way around, I use digital notes for scratch/scribble notes during a lecture since it’s an infinite scroll for the day and use my physical notebook to take the time and make pleasing notes for study, since I can’t really study or focus on an electronic device
I like to rewrite my notes every week and make them as visually appealing as possible. This forces me to study on a week by week basis. Whenever I have an exam or a paper I like to type up all of my notes. This forces me to study cumulatively. Repetition works best for helping me to memorize concepts. Thanks for sharing! your content always inspires me to get to work.
Repetition is actually very inefficient, as you have to put everything into a context and actively recall it copying everything is inefficient too because you also repeat everything you already know
I started digital notes because there is a voice option. It will type what you say. So, in class my teachers talk and the notes are there! I prefer this because when i write, my hands get cramps and the teacher talks to fast!! Also printing it out is good! I do this is World History.
@@taranewman3111 Sorry for answering so late, After you open google docs, If you go to tools, and you will see voice typing, then click on it! That's it!!! That easy! You just click the microphone when someone talks!
My lecturers put everything on an online portal for us to access but I handwrite nearly everything - powerpoint notes, spoken lecture notes, some readings, laboratory work, discussions, activities. But this could just be because I'm a science student who does a lot of practical work. I will type some of my readings but then I print them and annotate/highlight further. Basically I have a massive folder filled with loads of paper which is all my work 😊
I take all my notes and assignments in digital form, but when i'm studying and repeating through my notes, i do everything in written form to remember better 😍
I bought an iPad so I could use the Apple Pencil to take digital hand written notes. I’m an environmental science major so there’s a lot of diagrams and visual explanations which I need to note down and writing notes digitally means that I can try a few times with the drawings without my notes looking messy. It also saves paper and money since I don’t have the buy a new pen every 2 weeks
Does the iPad and apple pencil make an annoying sound when you write with it? I guess I could get used to that annoying tapping sound but I don’t want to annoy others since we have pretty small quiet classes and I love studying in the library.
Liza Saakadze it actually doesnt it mainly depends on what type of screen protector and stylus you have the apple pencil and almost any other stylus doesnt make any sound w a screen protector (i suggest a matte screen protector since its easier for writing prevents fingerprints light glare (when the sun or any light source bounces onto ur screen) but it sometimes can lower the color tone and discolor it but dw that rarely happens but i suggest doing research on digital notetaking and screen protectors etc. ik i have a late response sorry for that but i hope my suggestion helps if u have any questions dont be afraid to reply to me im not an expert but i did do heavy research still am but ill try my best to help out others hope ur doing well !)
I am a first year and i am having trouble deciding whether to take one or the other. I think I will type up my notes for efficiency and depth and then summarize the key points on paper making them pretty, Thank you!
Brilliant video as usual 😊 I'm in my first yr studying English at uni and so far I've found that for me handwriting my notes is easier and quicker ...but then I'll type up only the bits that are pertinent for my assignment question. I find that way I don't get lost in sea of unnecessary information. Another thing that I do is take a quick pic or bookmark a web page of any secondary scources that I use so I can keep track of my reference/bibliography lists (made the mistake last yr in college of not writing where I'd gotten a piece of brilliant info, and couldn't for the life of me find it again. Definitely learned from that! lol).
i love handwriting my notes but i also love my notes to be digital.... thankfully i found a happy middle and bought the iPad pro and write all my notes on the goodnotes app! its like the best of both worlds hahahah! i uploaded a video about why i went paperless! but i totally get why people like to stick to pen + paper! id love to see a video on how you organise your notes xx
I know I'm late but I wanted to give my 2 cents. Whenever I use digital, I always find my self struggling to grasp the material, and having to visit it multiple times. However, when I handwrite, I don't feel as if I have to do that. Digital is far more convenient though, which I feel has made me more lazy. I feel like copying and pasting more than actually typing things out. Overall, I find that the best way to motivate myself to work is handwriting, because I have to work harder.
As it's my first semester at uni, I am currently trying to figure out which method fits my needs the best. At the moment, I am doing more digital note taking, because I don't like when my notes get too messy and it's easy to change things on the laptop. I really liked this video, always up for more videos like that! 😊
I can't type very fast so I have to handwrite in lectures. Also staring at a screen makes me tired, because of straining my eyes so I hate digital. I think it's practical, and I try to do my readings digitally, whilst handwriting my notes so I'm not wasting paper, but physical is just how I work best
I prefer to use paper cause I can't type fast enough. I doodle a lot in my notes cause I use lots of symbols instead of words, it makes it easier for me to write and memorize. Plus a notebook is easier to carry and I can leave it anywhere without having to worry about it getting stolen. Also, digital pens are just not as good as good old pens and papers.
I've been going back and forth between these two methods while I'm studying for my immersion bootcamp. I use an iPad pro, a laptop, and a PC alongside with using paper. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this! Good luck in your studies!

I'm the kind of person that really sucks at being organized, but gets very anxious if stuff isn't neatly organized. When I hand-write my notes, they're all over the place, I fail to find the information I need when reviewing which makes me even more anxious. However, when I use my tablet-laptop hybrid for note-taking, I am able to organize everything neatly and know where to look for something when I need it. I know that hand-writing actuallly helps memorize better. However, for some reason, I find reviewing the notes I wrote digitially much more easier to memorize.
I always handwrite my notes because if i do them digitally i can write full pages but not remember any of it, it also helps me with studying if i re-write the messy lecture notes at home so its a win win
I’m all for hand written notes!! I just find it more engaging and I am able to do more with it- I can draw diagrams, arrows, section things off here and there, make side points, etc. I can’t even plan a paper on the computer because I feel that it’s too disorganized and confusing on the word processor rather than having an organized template of notes on paper, I even write my rough drafts on paper before typing it out as well!! It gives me a more visually understood structure where I am able to edit my paper and notes that make it more efficient when typing, in my opinion.
Great video! Like you, I used a mix of note taking. I would download the PowerPoints before class and then take notes on them during class. When studying, I would rewrite those PowerPoints
Because of corona I have to do online classes I bought paper and tablets pens and pencils but my hand was cramping so I switched to taking my notes by typing and it has saved me so much time out my day and now I have the motivation to go back in study at night because when I was taking notes it’d take me at least three hours on each subject because I have to read watch vids and take notes , now I can just copy and paste and edit things out a little to shorten my notes and color and make them look cute .
Great video, I do history so all my note taking is digitized then I'll rewrite at the end of the week/month/semester all the notes. I feel like it would be good mentioning programs that let you record while writing, this is good for subjects like History where discussion is long and if you have tutors like mine where they have no lecture outline nor powerpoint then you can go back and listen to it to get something you missed!
At my university all courses provide you with the PowerPoint lecture slides. In previous years I printed these out because I turn into a zombie if I type notes. However, this quickly proved to be very impractical. I was using so much paper, ink and time printing out PowerPoints containing a hundred slides. This year I purchased a stylus for my IPad so I am able to download all the powerpoints given to a notebook(I use Goodnotes) and still handwrite and additional notes! Now instead of carrying around multiple notebooks and a heavy MacBook Pro I just have one slim notebook for paper and a light iPad mini!
I’m In high school... I write note and then type it out on my laptop in case I lost my note or something. I have planners on phone and handwritten one too .
I’m late to this video but I‘ve always paper notes because I’ve done mostly online courses since my later years of college and through my masters (it was an online master’s program). I don’t want to use two screens at once and I’ve also found that it actually helps me concentrate.
I tend to type my notes in class. I'm a biotechnology major so I can add any diagrams and I have a touchscreen laptop with a stylus so I can write in any equations. Then, as part of my studying, I will write them out in a notebook or on blank printer paper drawing in the diagrams and making them as easy to read as possible.
@@annikahoppe5626 I currently use the Microsoft surface laptop which has a touch screen but it does not convert to a tablet. Before this one, I used the HP envy which had a touch screen and it was convertible into a tablet because it had 360 screen rotation. I would recommend both.
Hi Caitlin! Love your channel and your insta! ❤️ Personally, I am the creative person where digital doesn’t help me until it comes down to making study guides. For notes this semester, I write everything based on the power-points my professors tend to provide and color code sections and important pieces of information. Once I start making a study guide for an exam to really hone down the information, I type it up with questions asked in black, and my answers in blue. While looking for the answers for a study guide, I’m internally studying and remembering information because I’m rewriting them again and again. The study guide is then printed and I go from there. I remember information Best this way. Hope this helps someone else!
I use GoodNotes so it gives me the best of both worlds. I can type on it, draw pictures and write with the Apple Pencil. I can also decorate it how i like and make things pretty. Could you do a video on what you think of goodnotes please? Ps love your videos
Hello everybody, I started taking notes on the computer, but then I realized my eyes got too tired. So, since I have to write my thesis (also called "a considerable amount of time spent watching tue screen of my laptop") I went back to pen and paper! Have a nice day from Switzerland :)
this semester i'm doing more handwritten notes because i'm a slow typer. in one of my classes the powerpoint slides are online so if i don't write everything fast enough i always make a mental note of how many bullets i missed & i fill them in later (which forces me to look at the powerpoint again & study)! but for exams i recently just started doing study guides on google docs because rewriting everything into a study guide is too time consuming for me. also i can look at the google doc through the app to study throughout the day instead of scrolling through instagram or something before class starts
i am in school for makeup and only one of my classes it was the same teacher, lover her dearly she had all her lectures on powerpoint. she puts them online and I can download them and type my own notes and condenses it and only have what will be on the tests I have tried to write my notes and I get behind while writing them. so I now use one note and copy and paste method. I do some tweaking so it makes sense but it has been good. I just need to find a notebook with double lined papers.
i take handwritten notes in my hp x360 laptop .... we can record lectures , insert images from web so easily , search a keyword , try all different kinds of pens , view the notes in all devices . i use this method for all my classes including math , physics , chemistry , computer science and english . it works for me well !!
I take digital notes for everything ( reading, lectures,even supervisor meetings) but I do this in evernote. It allows me to add pictures, audio, tables, pdf and basically everything else. If im given a paper hand out or form. I scan it into my evernote to keep. I am a humanities student so I dont do much if any math problems. If I did id invest in a lenovo pen and solve problems that way I think. However I primarily keep a paper diary.
Your tips are always so interesting, and you're a real motivation to go study 😂 Seing your notes always makes me want to go rewrite mines to make them cuter! Thank you 👌🏻💕
I’m a fiction writer and when I’m formulating ideas, I need to write them down on physical paper with proper fountain pen. Then I digitally organise these chunks into pre-first draft chapters or sections (short stories) on my iPad, sometimes even writing them on GoodNotes. Then I put all these sections together as my first draft on words, properly typed up. Then when it comes to polishing, I’ll export the drafts back to GoodNotes, so I could annotate as I hate words document annotation, though my editors would do that and I have to deal with that later on. Then I would go back to edit the typed up draft. When I was a university 2-3 years ago, as much as I enjoyed having my iPad for note taking, when I study for exams or planning essays, I need to use physical paper. For exam revision, I needed to be able to flip through in order to properly learn certain facts.
I write my calculus notes on my iPad Pro because I’ve gotten very comfortable with using the one note program. However for my ethics class I hand write everything because working with long readings unfortunately makes me sleepy and it’s hard to pay attention. So having to focus on writing the right notes down really helps me focus lol.
i used sonocent link it allows you to record the audio and add note, slides and drawings on top of the section of audio it is related to. so if someone speak quickly then you can check you typed stuff right when going over them. it is brilliant cos im dyslexic so my typing speed isn't very quick.
Love your videos as usual 😊💗 so for all of my seminars and lectures I type up the notes because I just prefer it and get everything they are saying and I’ve been using onenote for years and have always liked using it. And for my readings in preparation for class I actually make hand written notes. I bought these a5 muji notebooks and assigned a book for each module. This is just so I can fully soak in the info and just have a bit more fun with colourful pens. ☺️
Caitlin's Corner the Muji books are only £1.50 but they are quite thin. But I thought if I get to the end of one and want to change my system then I can ☺️
Other than calc and orgo chem I usually type my notes in class, then write out my notes for exams. I’ve been using one note for 4 years now and I love it, I’m looking at getting an Apple Pencil so I can draw things in easier
I take notes by hand, on paper. I like to draw a lot while I study, because sometimes the teachers ramble and sincerely there isn't any worthwhile input there. I write down what is important and draw around it. I also like to sometimes write things in different alphabets because I'm a nerd for language learning, and that isn't as seamless a process on digital environments as it is on pen and paper. Obligations, such as assignments and tests, these I put on Google Calendar and keep them on a widget in a section of my cellphone's home screen. Since I'm a creature that's often in a hurry, I tend to not pay the attention I should to this widget. I manage my to-dos on Habitica, and I have it set daily there: "Check Google Calendar for future obligations". If I don't do it, I lose virtual health, so I always do it. It works for me.
You’re channel has helped me sooooooooooo much! Thank you for becoming a you tuber! Your videos or so creative and fun to watch. When I get home, I’ll watch your channel! @
This year I've been gravitating towards digital note taking because I'm in a 2 seminars and an English class where the prof talks slow enough that I can catch up (he also puts a lot of his notes on the class' online platform). Otherwise, I'm usually better at writing my notes by hand. For the last 3 years, all of my notes - most of my notes- are written by hand. Sometimes it's good, other times no so good.
in college i usually take rough notes on a scarp paper then rewrite them nicely at home to oprtimize my revision and for better understanding of concepts. however i am concerned how rewriting my notes made me waste a lot of paper and i dont know how to solve this
ALL of my notes are handwritten for three reasons. 1. Writing things down does actually help you remember things 2. My reading comprehension isn’t that great when I’m reading a huge chapter in a textbook, plus my ADD kicks in when I’m not actively doing something. 3. I’m an engineering major, so all of my classes are either math, science, or memory based, or a mixture of all three in some cases. I hate how much time it takes, but I come away from it knowing all of the practice quiz questions and being really prepared so I guess it’s worth it. I also copy down the PowerPoints the professor uploads sometime before the lecture. That way, I have an idea of what’s going to be taught and I’m not scrambling to write things down while they’re talking so I forget to listen. I’m a visual/audio learner so someone telling me things while pointing at slides with pictures is actually a great compliment to me writing down my notes.
i started doing digital notes for the final units of my biology and physics (both grade 12) courses in order to save time and because my computer was easier to access being at home following the surge of omnicron
I use paper notes instead of digital because I don't have a tablet to take written digital notes. I really love using graph paper notebooks for my notes because I get super creative with the layout, and ultimately I find layouts that make it easier to learn the information I need
I write my notes, mainly just because if I were to bring my laptop to class I would get so distracted and do just about everything except take notes. Also this semester anyway none of my teachers allow laptops in their class.
Personally I type lecture notes, if there are problems that come up I will have paper next to me and write down everything. I'll scan it in or when I get home rewrite it on my drawing tablet to insert. Then I'll organize my notes then usually print it out later or leave it digital depending on the notes. If I do reading notes, I do paper because it relaxes me and prevents me from getting distracted. I also have dyslexia mixed with poor eye sight so I take longer to read, especially on the computer as it hurts my eyes so if it's digital reading I can go longer on paper than staring at a screen.
I prefer handwriting i write in a messy way because you gotta be super fast so you can catch all notes and then i re-write them at home i will memorize them more in this way
Can you do a video about your grade 12 marks and how you decided on what you wanted to take in University? I'm in grade 12 now and I'm most likely going into business, and i'm planning on going to UTM, as long as I get in lol. also which program exactly are you in?
Caitlin's Corner Yeah that could be great thanks! I want to study commerce too, maybe in the video you could explain the courses you had for all of your years? I subbed a few weeks ago btw trying to find university related videos😂
I really like marketing and PR ( my sister is marketing and PR director in huge hotel ) , i think its an amazing job , but i HATE math and to get a degree I would have had to study calculus and math for next 4 years minimum so I changed my mind really easily. I am going to pre med this year
I write everything down messy on paper. So, in the classes or when I am home to make a mindmape about a chapter. After that I write it down I write it in OneNote in neat. So I also do both. But on paper I do the messy part, where I write everything down what is important so wen I do it in onenote it's way easier to type.
I use to really like to write my notes but now I'm thinking of changing because what I tend to write down is already on the PowerPoint in front of me that I have access to on my computer, so I miss writing down the examples they give in class. That and because its a very heavy subject, writing them just hurts my hand, even though it does improve my handwriting 😂In this case, I'm thinking about just getting the PowerPoint up on my laptop and editing them during class and adding the examples to them
This helped me really during online class the thing the lecture isn't recorded 😒 and we write so fast after when I sit to learn notes I don't understand my handwriting in online class so I told my father he bought me pc! Computer 😀 and .. I use to take notes on sites of canva and phonto and other websites 😀 they are better atleast I don't get cramps! 😭 7 -9 page okay for me ! But 17 pages lecture sometimes 30 pages lecture only 1 chap I am not able to write the thingy out how am I able to write 20-30 pages!!! Lol just copy and paste 😂
Ok so I just made up my way to choose, I’ll do all my notes digital but then I’ll make notes in paper with a bit of information of all the notes that I took virtually from that topic. Lmk what you guys think
I thought differently. I'll roughly write my notes on paper during the class, and then later, when I revise my notes, I'll add them in OneNote for better organization and formatting. And if required, I'll print those digital notes for reference. How's my idea? :)
I usually just do traditional hand written notes because I'm a grandma when it comes to technology (and because I'm engineering) but I really want to get into digital notes but like digital hand written ones? Just gotta get a new iPad and the pen 😅
I also just got the Lenovo yoga 730 15.6 super excited to incorporate digital into my university note taking. However, do you know how to turn off the the pen lol I have no idea and can not find it in the instructions. Thank you! I love your videos!!
i will take my notes digital during the lecture and write them out. In my first year i wrote everything and i was missing importand information. An since i am a slow writer if I don't have enough time to write everything out before the test i can print it out. Normal classes i write everything
Recently ive been trying to get back into handwriting notes, specifically for my research methods class, and by the time i do one page i get lazy and go back to digital 😭😭. I might do handwritten summaries for each chapter as review for my upcoming tests. Hopefully that works out and i stick to it🤞🏼 great video as always!!
Do anyone take their notes on paper and later organize and transform them onto computer? I am really frustrated because I only wanted to stick with one, either paper or digital.
Honestly my handwriting is pretty bad but I find it more useful to actually write down the information more so than typing, and I find myself paying much better and more attention than when I have a laptop open in front of me.
Hi Caitlin! I have the same laptop you have. I just started my semester and bought a lenovo active pen to take notes! do you have a screen protecter? Would you advise me to get one?
I'm going back to school, could someone please help with what you use to take digital notes? Is it an Ipad? Chrome book? What's the one with the cool touch screen so I can use a stylus?
You can use any tablet that works for you. I have the iPad 12.9 and I love taking notes on it. It is definitely an investment but I highly recommend for college students it has helped me find my notes easier, stay organized and not waist so much paper/notebooks, as well as write on the slides while in class. Hope this helps :)
I still use paper and pen in my lectures. Not only does it help you remember better, but because you can't always write everything down, your brain has to filter through the slides and pick out the most important things, which helps to limit the amount of useless information in your notes!
Sarah Mae I find taking digitally helps me so much better and with the useless information in your notes All I do is just write what I think is important.
I use digital now because I’m a music student and I can’t afford to cart around a whole book for one piece in it. So I take a photo of the music or download a PDF of it and put it into GoodNotes on my iPad where I can scribble on it, and with a click of a button I can see it without the scribbles too. I have 3 ensembles worth of sheet music (and GoodNotes has music staff paper too!) and all 3 of my music units in the one app as well as my digital bullet journal and I love how organised and compact it is.
Ohhh I love that you can see your documents with and without your writing on top 🙌😍 sounds very organized...thanks Tara ! Hope classes are going well 💕
Im just starting to take notes on my iPad with a stylus pen(because this student spent all her money on an iPad and is now too broke to buy an Apple Pencil). Im wondering which app I can use the best for writing notes and highlighting. I use alot of PDF files for my study so it would be best if I can highlight and write notes inside the PDF file. Do you have any suggestions?
WTF, that's absolutely ridiculous. No digital reading? Do they get a commission from the publisher for the books they force their students to buy? Also, what about accessibility? What if you *need to take digital notes?
@@casuconsulto4252 no not really, they just dont like electronics but we can photocopy them or buy any edition. Most of the times they even provide the book to photocopy it. But electronics are off the table.
I have a lecturer who has an amazing mind and so much wisdom but doesn’t allow electronic note taking. Only 📝. No phones to be seen too - but it’s soo worth it!
I've gravitated to using digital note-taking on my laptop lately mainly because some of my modules are heavy or there are too many lecture slides. It's mainly to help me efficiently organize my notes. So far, I'm struggling with handwriting said notes on paper because of the heavy information and my chicken scratch handwritting, but one thing that helped me to summarize all my notes on paper is to use mindmaps or diagrams. I'm currently using the fishbone diagram which just helps me to organize my notes and make it look somewhat neater.
Also just another smaller note, for handwriting notes, it helps if you know what pen or pencil you're comfortable with using. It can really affect the way you write your notes, how it looks and etc etc
I only do paper notes cause I don't have a tablet to do them but I will type them before my finals. I am in Industrial Engineering so I am doing a lot of math...
I have horrible hand writing(if I’m writing fast I can’t read it) so I use digital notes and print them out. Plz no one tell me just to practice! I have been to occupational therapy for my handwriting it didn’t help.
For me , • Physical for things that u need to memorize , explore creativity , and need more thinking . ( U are more likely to remember and do things if u write them) I tried paper like and apple pencil but it still feels uncomfortable , it has still to improve to reach the comfort of paper. • Digital for thing that u don't have to memorize and just store or practice or to make the final product , etc . ( Imagine cloud disappeared one day ) • People say they use digital to save Nature , then what about the radioactive material that is harmful for everyone . We haven't found how to tackle radioactive materials and we keep adding on it .So for people who say they use digital to save Nature , no u don't ,maybe u do but not as much as u think. Plus it screens damage ur eyes ,and also affects the part that controls the eyes , and also the area around that part which is part used for memorization . So it affects eyes and brain both , and also the radiations aren't good . Some Articles say it doesn't affect much but they say this so caus ethey want to sell. If they tell u truth u won't use much and they will not get money , so they see their profit in it. • U can by using less paper , like using paper only for notes , and practice digitally cause practice takes more paper . And notes that u don't need , or books that u don't need , u can use unused parts of them for calculations or practice as well .
When I was in college, I wrote all my lecture notes on paper. Then, I would retype them digitally, adding color coding and the appropriate outline formatting. When I needed to study for an exam, I would print out those notes and use various highlighters to help me remember key items or group things together better in my mind. Using multiple formats helped me solidify the material (because I was writing it several times, whether on paper or digitally). Double review!
Thanks for sharing this video! There's no "right" way, only the right way for each of us. :-)
Wow! That’s a well thought out system ! Thanks for sharing 😊 yes, no “right” way at all...one thing I love about this comment section right now is all the different methods people are sharing! It’s awesome!

so you use digital notes at first and only use physical notes to study right? I'm very confused on how to use both :/
Repetition is actually very inefficient, as you have to put everything into a context and actively recall it

My lecturers put everything on an online portal for us to access but I handwrite nearly everything - powerpoint notes, spoken lecture notes, some readings, laboratory work, discussions, activities. But this could just be because I'm a science student who does a lot of practical work. I will type some of my readings but then I print them and annotate/highlight further. Basically I have a massive folder filled with loads of paper which is all my work 😊
Haha there’s something oddly wonderful about a stack of handwritten notes so that sounds awesome, Claire 🙌😍
I take all my notes and assignments in digital form, but when i'm studying and repeating through my notes, i do everything in written form to remember better 😍
I bought an iPad so I could use the Apple Pencil to take digital hand written notes. I’m an environmental science major so there’s a lot of diagrams and visual explanations which I need to note down and writing notes digitally means that I can try a few times with the drawings without my notes looking messy. It also saves paper and money since I don’t have the buy a new pen every 2 weeks
Very cool! Plus makes your notes super light 👌🏼😍
its great, i just have to carry around my ipad, or my laptop and my ipad.
Buying an iPad to save money.
Does the iPad and apple pencil make an annoying sound when you write with it? I guess I could get used to that annoying tapping sound but I don’t want to annoy others since we have pretty small quiet classes and I love studying in the library.
Liza Saakadze it actually doesnt it mainly depends on what type of screen protector and stylus you have the apple pencil and almost any other stylus doesnt make any sound w a screen protector (i suggest a matte screen protector since its easier for writing prevents fingerprints light glare (when the sun or any light source bounces onto ur screen) but it sometimes can lower the color tone and discolor it but dw that rarely happens but i suggest doing research on digital notetaking and screen protectors etc. ik i have a late response sorry for that but i hope my suggestion helps if u have any questions dont be afraid to reply to me im not an expert but i did do heavy research still am but ill try my best to help out others hope ur doing well !)
i’m really interested in how you organize your notes, digitally and physically. could you do a segment on insta or a video on here showing?
Ooohh great idea!
I am a first year and i am having trouble deciding whether to take one or the other. I think I will type up my notes for efficiency and depth and then summarize the key points on paper making them pretty, Thank you!
Brilliant video as usual 😊 I'm in my first yr studying English at uni and so far I've found that for me handwriting my notes is easier and quicker ...but then I'll type up only the bits that are pertinent for my assignment question. I find that way I don't get lost in sea of unnecessary information. Another thing that I do is take a quick pic or bookmark a web page of any secondary scources that I use so I can keep track of my reference/bibliography lists (made the mistake last yr in college of not writing where I'd gotten a piece of brilliant info, and couldn't for the life of me find it again. Definitely learned from that! lol).
The photo trick is a GREAT ideas for keeping track of references ! 🙏😍
Whenever I watch your videos, it really motivates me a lot to study more and helps me to overcome my struggles in school. Thank you so much Caitlin! 💞
Touched to hear that, Vanessa 💕 hope your studies have been going well !
i love handwriting my notes but i also love my notes to be digital.... thankfully i found a happy middle and bought the iPad pro and write all my notes on the goodnotes app! its like the best of both worlds hahahah!
i uploaded a video about why i went paperless! but i totally get why people like to stick to pen + paper!
id love to see a video on how you organise your notes xx
I know I'm late but I wanted to give my 2 cents.
Whenever I use digital, I always find my self struggling to grasp the material, and having to visit it multiple times. However, when I handwrite, I don't feel as if I have to do that.
Digital is far more convenient though, which I feel has made me more lazy. I feel like copying and pasting more than actually typing things out.
Overall, I find that the best way to motivate myself to work is handwriting, because I have to work harder.
me too!
Save trees! Don't use a paper!
As it's my first semester at uni, I am currently trying to figure out which method fits my needs the best. At the moment, I am doing more digital note taking, because I don't like when my notes get too messy and it's easy to change things on the laptop. I really liked this video, always up for more videos like that! 😊
I’m so happy to hear that Julia ! 💕😍 hope your first year is going well...I know it can be quite an adjustment period 👌🏼
I can't type very fast so I have to handwrite in lectures. Also staring at a screen makes me tired, because of straining my eyes so I hate digital. I think it's practical, and I try to do my readings digitally, whilst handwriting my notes so I'm not wasting paper, but physical is just how I work best
Love it 👌🏼 got to do what works for you 😊
Turn true tone and night shift, also dark mode
I prefer to use paper cause I can't type fast enough. I doodle a lot in my notes cause I use lots of symbols instead of words, it makes it easier for me to write and memorize. Plus a notebook is easier to carry and I can leave it anywhere without having to worry about it getting stolen.
Also, digital pens are just not as good as good old pens and papers.
Yes that’s true...handwriting means you can use lots of symbols/doodles that aren’t as easy to implement if you’re typing 👌🏼thanks for sharing !!
There's also the soft pushing movement you have with pen and paper whereas ipad screens feel really slippery and weird.
I've been going back and forth between these two methods while I'm studying for my immersion bootcamp. I use an iPad pro, a laptop, and a PC alongside with using paper.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this! Good luck in your studies!
Haha you’ve got all types of digital gadgets in use 👌🏼😂 thanks for sharing!

I'm the kind of person that really sucks at being organized, but gets very anxious if stuff isn't neatly organized. When I hand-write my notes, they're all over the place, I fail to find the information I need when reviewing which makes me even more anxious. However, when I use my tablet-laptop hybrid for note-taking, I am able to organize everything neatly and know where to look for something when I need it.
I know that hand-writing actuallly helps memorize better. However, for some reason, I find reviewing the notes I wrote digitially much more easier to memorize.
I’m starting school next week (grade 11) and I’m going to be taking digital handwritten notes in my classes for the first time! I’m so excited!
I always handwrite my notes because if i do them digitally i can write full pages but not remember any of it, it also helps me with studying if i re-write the messy lecture notes at home so its a win win
I’m all for hand written notes!! I just find it more engaging and I am able to do more with it- I can draw diagrams, arrows, section things off here and there, make side points, etc. I can’t even plan a paper on the computer because I feel that it’s too disorganized and confusing on the word processor rather than having an organized template of notes on paper, I even write my rough drafts on paper before typing it out as well!! It gives me a more visually understood structure where I am able to edit my paper and notes that make it more efficient when typing, in my opinion.
Great video! Like you, I used a mix of note taking. I would download the PowerPoints before class and then take notes on them during class. When studying, I would rewrite those PowerPoints
Awesome system, Melissa! Re-writing really helps with memory 👌🏼
Because of corona I have to do online classes I bought paper and tablets pens and pencils but my hand was cramping so I switched to taking my notes by typing and it has saved me so much time out my day and now I have the motivation to go back in study at night because when I was taking notes it’d take me at least three hours on each subject because I have to read watch vids and take notes , now I can just copy and paste and edit things out a little to shorten my notes and color and make them look cute .
I feel like when you put a lot of work into your notes, you’re more likely to study them bc you put so much work into it
Great video, I do history so all my note taking is digitized then I'll rewrite at the end of the week/month/semester all the notes.
I feel like it would be good mentioning programs that let you record while writing, this is good for subjects like History where discussion is long and if you have tutors like mine where they have no lecture outline nor powerpoint then you can go back and listen to it to get something you missed!
At my university all courses provide you with the PowerPoint lecture slides. In previous years I printed these out because I turn into a zombie if I type notes. However, this quickly proved to be very impractical. I was using so much paper, ink and time printing out PowerPoints containing a hundred slides. This year I purchased a stylus for my IPad so I am able to download all the powerpoints given to a notebook(I use Goodnotes) and still handwrite and additional notes! Now instead of carrying around multiple notebooks and a heavy MacBook Pro I just have one slim notebook for paper and a light iPad mini!
Love it ! Light and easy to use/organize 😍 I would print lectures too and you’re right, it quickly becomes impractical 😅
I’m In high school... I write note and then type it out on my laptop in case I lost my note or something. I have planners on phone and handwritten one too .
I’m late to this video but I‘ve always paper notes because I’ve done mostly online courses since my later years of college and through my masters (it was an online master’s program). I don’t want to use two screens at once and I’ve also found that it actually helps me concentrate.
I tend to type my notes in class. I'm a biotechnology major so I can add any diagrams and I have a touchscreen laptop with a stylus so I can write in any equations. Then, as part of my studying, I will write them out in a notebook or on blank printer paper drawing in the diagrams and making them as easy to read as possible.
Hi, I am going to study natural sciences and I am looking for a convertible laptop with a touchscreen. Which one do you use and can you recommend it ?
@@annikahoppe5626 I currently use the Microsoft surface laptop which has a touch screen but it does not convert to a tablet. Before this one, I used the HP envy which had a touch screen and it was convertible into a tablet because it had 360 screen rotation. I would recommend both.
Thank you Caitlin that actually inspires me. Good luck on your midterms and everything!
Thanks Angela !!!
Hi Caitlin! Love your channel and your insta! ❤️
Personally, I am the creative person where digital doesn’t help me until it comes down to making study guides. For notes this semester, I write everything based on the power-points my professors tend to provide and color code sections and important pieces of information. Once I start making a study guide for an exam to really hone down the information, I type it up with questions asked in black, and my answers in blue. While looking for the answers for a study guide, I’m internally studying and remembering information because I’m rewriting them again and again. The study guide is then printed and I go from there. I remember information Best this way.
Hope this helps someone else!
I use GoodNotes so it gives me the best of both worlds. I can type on it, draw pictures and write with the Apple Pencil. I can also decorate it how i like and make things pretty. Could you do a video on what you think of goodnotes please? Ps love your videos
Hello everybody,
I started taking notes on the computer, but then I realized my eyes got too tired. So, since I have to write my thesis (also called "a considerable amount of time spent watching tue screen of my laptop") I went back to pen and paper!
Have a nice day from Switzerland :)
Good luck with your thesis! Thanks for sharing Sabrina !
this semester i'm doing more handwritten notes because i'm a slow typer. in one of my classes the powerpoint slides are online so if i don't write everything fast enough i always make a mental note of how many bullets i missed & i fill them in later (which forces me to look at the powerpoint again & study)! but for exams i recently just started doing study guides on google docs because rewriting everything into a study guide is too time consuming for me. also i can look at the google doc through the app to study throughout the day instead of scrolling through instagram or something before class starts
i am in school for makeup and only one of my classes it was the same teacher, lover her dearly she had all her lectures on powerpoint. she puts them online and I can download them and type my own notes and condenses it and only have what will be on the tests I have tried to write my notes and I get behind while writing them. so I now use one note and copy and paste method. I do some tweaking so it makes sense but it has been good. I just need to find a notebook with double lined papers.
I’m glad that’s been working for you, Ashley !! Hope school is going well 💕😊
i take handwritten notes in my hp x360 laptop .... we can record lectures , insert images from web so easily , search a keyword , try all different kinds of pens , view the notes in all devices . i use this method for all my classes including math , physics , chemistry , computer science and english . it works for me well !!
Does hp pen working well?
Ahhh I love videos like this! And I just love everything you do, girl! Hope uni is going well for you this year!
Thanks Alex ! ❤️ it’s going very well !
I take digital notes for everything ( reading, lectures,even supervisor meetings) but I do this in evernote. It allows me to add pictures, audio, tables, pdf and basically everything else. If im given a paper hand out or form. I scan it into my evernote to keep. I am a humanities student so I dont do much if any math problems. If I did id invest in a lenovo pen and solve problems that way I think. However I primarily keep a paper diary.
Your tips are always so interesting, and you're a real motivation to go study 😂
Seing your notes always makes me want to go rewrite mines to make them cuter! Thank you 👌🏻💕
Thanks Juliette ! Hope your studying is going well haha 😜💕
I’m a fiction writer and when I’m formulating ideas, I need to write them down on physical paper with proper fountain pen. Then I digitally organise these chunks into pre-first draft chapters or sections (short stories) on my iPad, sometimes even writing them on GoodNotes. Then I put all these sections together as my first draft on words, properly typed up. Then when it comes to polishing, I’ll export the drafts back to GoodNotes, so I could annotate as I hate words document annotation, though my editors would do that and I have to deal with that later on. Then I would go back to edit the typed up draft. When I was a university 2-3 years ago, as much as I enjoyed having my iPad for note taking, when I study for exams or planning essays, I need to use physical paper. For exam revision, I needed to be able to flip through in order to properly learn certain facts.
I write my calculus notes on my iPad Pro because I’ve gotten very comfortable with using the one note program. However for my ethics class I hand write everything because working with long readings unfortunately makes me sleepy and it’s hard to pay attention. So having to focus on writing the right notes down really helps me focus lol.
Very true...handwriting takes a little more effort so glad it’s helping you stay awake haha 👌🏼😂
i used sonocent link it allows you to record the audio and add note, slides and drawings on top of the section of audio it is related to. so if someone speak quickly then you can check you typed stuff right when going over them. it is brilliant cos im dyslexic so my typing speed isn't very quick.
When I do things on paper (in a course where I’m mixing both styles) I usually scan it into my drive so I can keep my work all together.
Ohhh awesome idea! Then you have digital copies 👌🏼
Love your videos as usual 😊💗 so for all of my seminars and lectures I type up the notes because I just prefer it and get everything they are saying and I’ve been using onenote for years and have always liked using it. And for my readings in preparation for class I actually make hand written notes. I bought these a5 muji notebooks and assigned a book for each module. This is just so I can fully soak in the info and just have a bit more fun with colourful pens. ☺️
Ohhh fantastic idea !! Prepping for class on paper is something I sometimes do too...maybe I’ll pick up some of those muji notebooks next semester 👌🏼😊
Caitlin's Corner the Muji books are only £1.50 but they are quite thin. But I thought if I get to the end of one and want to change my system then I can ☺️
Other than calc and orgo chem I usually type my notes in class, then write out my notes for exams. I’ve been using one note for 4 years now and I love it, I’m looking at getting an Apple Pencil so I can draw things in easier
I take notes by hand, on paper. I like to draw a lot while I study, because sometimes the teachers ramble and sincerely there isn't any worthwhile input there. I write down what is important and draw around it. I also like to sometimes write things in different alphabets because I'm a nerd for language learning, and that isn't as seamless a process on digital environments as it is on pen and paper.
Obligations, such as assignments and tests, these I put on Google Calendar and keep them on a widget in a section of my cellphone's home screen. Since I'm a creature that's often in a hurry, I tend to not pay the attention I should to this widget. I manage my to-dos on Habitica, and I have it set daily there: "Check Google Calendar for future obligations". If I don't do it, I lose virtual health, so I always do it. It works for me.
You’re channel has helped me sooooooooooo much! Thank you for becoming a you tuber! Your videos or so creative and fun to watch. When I get home, I’ll watch your channel!

This year I've been gravitating towards digital note taking because I'm in a 2 seminars and an English class where the prof talks slow enough that I can catch up (he also puts a lot of his notes on the class' online platform). Otherwise, I'm usually better at writing my notes by hand. For the last 3 years, all of my notes - most of my notes- are written by hand. Sometimes it's good, other times no so good.
great video as usual Caitlin!
Thank-you! Happy you enjoyed it 😊
in college i usually take rough notes on a scarp paper then rewrite them nicely at home to oprtimize my revision and for better understanding of concepts. however i am concerned how rewriting my notes made me waste a lot of paper and i dont know how to solve this
ALL of my notes are handwritten for three reasons.
1. Writing things down does actually help you remember things
2. My reading comprehension isn’t that great when I’m reading a huge chapter in a textbook, plus my ADD kicks in when I’m not actively doing something.
3. I’m an engineering major, so all of my classes are either math, science, or memory based, or a mixture of all three in some cases.
I hate how much time it takes, but I come away from it knowing all of the practice quiz questions and being really prepared so I guess it’s worth it.
I also copy down the PowerPoints the professor uploads sometime before the lecture. That way, I have an idea of what’s going to be taught and I’m not scrambling to write things down while they’re talking so I forget to listen. I’m a visual/audio learner so someone telling me things while pointing at slides with pictures is actually a great compliment to me writing down my notes.
Thank you, I was looking for a review that was not biased :)
i started doing digital notes for the final units of my biology and physics (both grade 12) courses in order to save time and because my computer was easier to access being at home following the surge of omnicron
I use paper notes instead of digital because I don't have a tablet to take written digital notes. I really love using graph paper notebooks for my notes because I get super creative with the layout, and ultimately I find layouts that make it easier to learn the information I need
I know what you mean....graph paper is a lot of fun 👌🏼😍
I write my notes, mainly just because if I were to bring my laptop to class I would get so distracted and do just about everything except take notes. Also this semester anyway none of my teachers allow laptops in their class.
1:12 markdown pretty much offers the same
Personally I type lecture notes, if there are problems that come up I will have paper next to me and write down everything. I'll scan it in or when I get home rewrite it on my drawing tablet to insert. Then I'll organize my notes then usually print it out later or leave it digital depending on the notes. If I do reading notes, I do paper because it relaxes me and prevents me from getting distracted. I also have dyslexia mixed with poor eye sight so I take longer to read, especially on the computer as it hurts my eyes so if it's digital reading I can go longer on paper than staring at a screen.
Hi Caitlin! I love your videos!😁❤️
Thanks Peighton! Appreciate the love ❤️
I prefer handwriting i write in a messy way because you gotta be super fast so you can catch all notes and then i re-write them at home i will memorize them more in this way
I have the same laptop as you where do I get the clip for the pen on the laptop! Love your videos !!
This was super helpful thank you!!!
❤️❤️❤️ thanks for all the support Jess !
This video was everything I needed
Can you do a video about your grade 12 marks and how you decided on what you wanted to take in University? I'm in grade 12 now and I'm most likely going into business, and i'm planning on going to UTM, as long as I get in lol. also which program exactly are you in?
Could definitely talk about that in a video! I’m in the Rotman Commerce program at UofT :)) good luck on grade 12!
Caitlin's Corner Yeah that could be great thanks! I want to study commerce too, maybe in the video you could explain the courses you had for all of your years? I subbed a few weeks ago btw trying to find university related videos😂
I really like marketing and PR ( my sister is marketing and PR director in huge hotel ) , i think its an amazing job , but i HATE math and to get a degree I would have had to study calculus and math for next 4 years minimum so I changed my mind really easily. I am going to pre med this year
I write everything down messy on paper. So, in the classes or when I am home to make a mindmape about a chapter. After that I write it down I write it in OneNote in neat. So I also do both. But on paper I do the messy part, where I write everything down what is important so wen I do it in onenote it's way easier to type.
Would it better to type everything in class and then write it down on notebook when you get home?
I use to really like to write my notes but now I'm thinking of changing because what I tend to write down is already on the PowerPoint in front of me that I have access to on my computer, so I miss writing down the examples they give in class. That and because its a very heavy subject, writing them just hurts my hand, even though it does improve my handwriting 😂In this case, I'm thinking about just getting the PowerPoint up on my laptop and editing them during class and adding the examples to them
what about writing with a stylus on a tablet? Is it a way to have the best of both worlds?
This helped me really during online class the thing the lecture isn't recorded 😒 and we write so fast after when I sit to learn notes I don't understand my handwriting in online class so I told my father he bought me pc! Computer 😀 and .. I use to take notes on sites of canva and phonto and other websites 😀 they are better atleast I don't get cramps! 😭
7 -9 page okay for me !
But 17 pages lecture sometimes 30 pages lecture only 1 chap I am not able to write the thingy out how am I able to write 20-30 pages!!! Lol just copy and paste 😂
Ok so I just made up my way to choose, I’ll do all my notes digital but then I’ll make notes in paper with a bit of information of all the notes that I took virtually from that topic. Lmk what you guys think
I thought differently. I'll roughly write my notes on paper during the class, and then later, when I revise my notes, I'll add them in OneNote for better organization and formatting. And if required, I'll print those digital notes for reference.
How's my idea? :)
@@dimlighty I love your idea, I love it more than I love mine. I’ll actually start using your method! Seems more effective ;)
Love your channel!!
❤️❤️❤️ thank-you for your support
I usually just do traditional hand written notes because I'm a grandma when it comes to technology (and because I'm engineering) but I really want to get into digital notes but like digital hand written ones? Just gotta get a new iPad and the pen 😅
how do you you chose what you want to use at the moment
I also just got the Lenovo yoga 730 15.6 super excited to incorporate digital into my university note taking. However, do you know how to turn off the the pen lol I have no idea and can not find it in the instructions. Thank you! I love your videos!!
i will take my notes digital during the lecture and write them out. In my first year i wrote everything and i was missing importand information. An since i am a slow writer if I don't have enough time to write everything out before the test i can print it out. Normal classes i write everything
👌🏼🙌 digital can be a lifesaver if you’re a slow writer ! 😍
Recently ive been trying to get back into handwriting notes, specifically for my research methods class, and by the time i do one page i get lazy and go back to digital 😭😭. I might do handwritten summaries for each chapter as review for my upcoming tests. Hopefully that works out and i stick to it🤞🏼 great video as always!!
LOVE THIS IDEA ! Such a great compromise 👌🏼
Any advice on iPad notes at highschool? I'm a Jr.
Do anyone take their notes on paper and later organize and transform them onto computer? I am really frustrated because I only wanted to stick with one, either paper or digital.
Honestly my handwriting is pretty bad but I find it more useful to actually write down the information more so than typing, and I find myself paying much better and more attention than when I have a laptop open in front of me.
Love you💕, You motivated and inspired me everyday so much 😍Kisses all the way from POLAND, Europe 🇵🇱😘 Anna
❤️❤️❤️ sending so much love to Poland !
Thanks!
Do you know how to use cornel notes?
But what if you write your notes on an ipad using an apple pencil?
What printer do you use?
Hi Caitlin! I have the same laptop you have. I just started my semester and bought a lenovo active pen to take notes! do you have a screen protecter? Would you advise me to get one?
hey Caitlin
Have you tried google handwriting input? or maybe the iOS version of that?
x
I'm going back to school, could someone please help with what you use to take digital notes? Is it an Ipad? Chrome book? What's the one with the cool touch screen so I can use a stylus?
You can use any tablet that works for you. I have the iPad 12.9 and I love taking notes on it. It is definitely an investment but I highly recommend for college students it has helped me find my notes easier, stay organized and not waist so much paper/notebooks, as well as write on the slides while in class. Hope this helps :)
What type of note that checked notes i Didn't get tat type till🙄🤔🤔
I still use paper and pen in my lectures. Not only does it help you remember better, but because you can't always write everything down, your brain has to filter through the slides and pick out the most important things, which helps to limit the amount of useless information in your notes!
Sarah Mae I find taking digitally helps me so much better and with the useless information in your notes
All I do is just write what I think is important.
I use digital now because I’m a music student and I can’t afford to cart around a whole book for one piece in it. So I take a photo of the music or download a PDF of it and put it into GoodNotes on my iPad where I can scribble on it, and with a click of a button I can see it without the scribbles too. I have 3 ensembles worth of sheet music (and GoodNotes has music staff paper too!) and all 3 of my music units in the one app as well as my digital bullet journal and I love how organised and compact it is.
Ohhh I love that you can see your documents with and without your writing on top 🙌😍 sounds very organized...thanks Tara ! Hope classes are going well 💕
Im just starting to take notes on my iPad with a stylus pen(because this student spent all her money on an iPad and is now too broke to buy an Apple Pencil). Im wondering which app I can use the best for writing notes and highlighting. I use alot of PDF files for my study so it would be best if I can highlight and write notes inside the PDF file. Do you have any suggestions?
OneNote is pretty good
I'm majoring in literature and my teacher won't allow digital notes, a lot of them won't even allow digital reading
Haha yeah sometimes profs make the decision for you 😅
WTF, that's absolutely ridiculous. No digital reading? Do they get a commission from the publisher for the books they force their students to buy? Also, what about accessibility? What if you *need to take digital notes?
@@casuconsulto4252 no not really, they just dont like electronics but we can photocopy them or buy any edition. Most of the times they even provide the book to photocopy it. But electronics are off the table.
I have a lecturer who has an amazing mind and so much wisdom but doesn’t allow electronic note taking. Only 📝. No phones to be seen too - but it’s soo worth it!
I've gravitated to using digital note-taking on my laptop lately mainly because some of my modules are heavy or there are too many lecture slides. It's mainly to help me efficiently organize my notes. So far, I'm struggling with handwriting said notes on paper because of the heavy information and my chicken scratch handwritting, but one thing that helped me to summarize all my notes on paper is to use mindmaps or diagrams.
I'm currently using the fishbone diagram which just helps me to organize my notes and make it look somewhat neater.
Also just another smaller note, for handwriting notes, it helps if you know what pen or pencil you're comfortable with using. It can really affect the way you write your notes, how it looks and etc etc
I only do paper notes cause I don't have a tablet to do them but I will type them before my finals. I am in Industrial Engineering so I am doing a lot of math...
Hello Ma"am
please provoid me apps names for make good notes
becouse I don't know any app
What laptop do you use?
I actually rewrite my note in my ipad ( i do thats in the weekend )
do your notes digitally and rewrite in paper what you remember
I have horrible hand writing(if I’m writing fast I can’t read it) so I use digital notes and print them out. Plz no one tell me just to practice! I have been to occupational therapy for my handwriting it didn’t help.
Came to a conclusion to use paper because my handwriting is already doo doo😂
For me ,
• Physical for things that u need to memorize , explore creativity , and need more thinking .
( U are more likely to remember and do things if u write them) I tried paper like and apple pencil but it still feels uncomfortable , it has still to improve to reach the comfort of paper.
• Digital for thing that u don't have to memorize and just store or practice or to make the final product , etc .
( Imagine cloud disappeared one day )
• People say they use digital to save Nature , then what about the radioactive material that is harmful for everyone . We haven't found how to tackle radioactive materials and we keep adding on it .So for people who say they use digital to save Nature , no u don't ,maybe u do but not as much as u think. Plus it screens damage ur eyes ,and also affects the part that controls the eyes , and also the area around that part which is part used for memorization . So it affects eyes and brain both , and also the radiations aren't good . Some Articles say it doesn't affect much but they say this so caus ethey want to sell. If they tell u truth u won't use much and they will not get money , so they see their profit in it.
• U can by using less paper , like using paper only for notes , and practice digitally cause practice takes more paper . And notes that u don't need , or books that u don't need , u can use unused parts of them for calculations or practice as well .
I struggle to take raw text notes of math classes, there is for sure not enough time to make them look nice :/
