Taking good notes in college pro#
I alternate between using my Surface Pro and a pen and paper, for me it just depends on the class. I don't know anything about Ultrabooks but if it has similar capabilities I can't recommend it enough. I adore my Surface and it's made me a much more efficient and attentive student. Plus OneNote on Surface allows the drawing/diagrams of tablets and also has the very nice-feeling, very slim keyboard for quick switching between all types of note-taking. Then when I get home, thanks to OneNote's syncing, all my notes are already on my home computer and easily copy/pasted into Anki flashcards without having to retype everything. Frequently we're discussing plant morphology so I can quickly google a picture of a plant to better understand what the professor is talking about. Then if I have a question/curiosity that isnt' worth derailing a lecture for I can usually answer it myself.

I can have my text book in PDF format up side-by-side with OneNote so I can be taking notes while looking at the text area that my professor is talking about. I recently got a Surface, though, and it's completely changed my view on electronic devices for taking notes.

I used to be all about hand-written notes because I also worried about getting distracted/going online. Obviously, everyone is different and you have to find what works for you, but there is evidence that suggests that handwritten notes are better (see link) The downside: you have to be fast, and my handwriting can get sloppy at times. When I'm studying I then go through the slides and compare them to my notes, then rewrite my notes on the laptop to include information from the slides and textbook. Helps so much with exam preparation, it's so much easier when I have my own detailed notes that are independent from the slides. This way I have to think about everything that the professor is saying and summarize it rather than just fill in what is not on the slides. I find that when I have the slides printed out I don't go into as much detail when I am writing things down in my own words, because it already says a lot of the things on the slides. In addition to that, I do NOT print out lecture slides before class. ** List of all college specific subreddits **
