    • Do prefer taking notes on paper or on a computer ? Paper
    • Do you maybe write on an ipad/digital notebook ? Neither
    • Do you rewrite your notes ? I don't
    • How many times if you do I don't
    • Do you rewrite your notes digitally or on paper ? I don't
    • Which medium do you find the most efficient ? and Why Paper tends to be more effective since you can remember writing them down one by one. If digital I'm afraid I'll get distracted to open other apps
    For the people that take notes on paper, what type of paper ? Sometimes I write directly on the modules/textbook, sometimes it's the regular paper with lines only

    • Do prefer taking notes on paper or on a computer ?
    I like to use a pen and paper, but that's mainly because I do maths, so using a computer is impractical.
    • Do you maybe write on an ipad/digital notebook ?
    I don't like them. I don't know why, they just feel off to use.
    • Do you rewrite your notes ?
    • How many times if you do
    I'd write notes along with the lecture and then, later on, condense them into clearer, better-formatted notes. I don't find the act of rewriting the notes itself helpful to my understanding of the topic, so I just do it the once. Then, when studying, I will read over the notes and test my understanding with various scenarios in my head or on another paper.

    Paper. It is easier to carry to other places (I don't own a laptop) and you can arrange them on a desk next to the work you're doing. You don't need to turn on your computer or even be near a computer to study, either.


    For the people that take notes on paper, what type of paper ?
    • lines
    • rectangles
    • small squares
    • big squares
    • white printing paper
    I use normal lined paper. Maths notes don't actually really need exact, to-scale diagrams that squares help with, and I don't like the vertical lines going through my writing.
