great question & the answer is no

ps: I know this is a very long ask (I tend to add really excruciating amounts of details when explaining something) so if you’re busy or don’t know how to answer it, it’s okay you can just ignore it.

your ask is perfectly fine!!

yes i totally agree with you— spending too much time on notes is v counterproductive and i would rather do problems instead. i have a lot of modules and don’t want to carry around 10 notebooks in my bag so i tend to have my lecture notes and lab books etc all on my ipad for convenience (+ with cloud backup so i don’t worry about losing my notes).

with that said, i find that i write much faster on paper and im able to recall info better (+ my final exams are handwritten), so i prefer to do my problem sheets on paper. during exam revision i try and write out a more concise cheat sheet by hand so i don’t have to dig through my longer lecture notes every time, and those are probably the physical notes you see on my page :)

thank you anon 🥹🥹🥹 what’s helped me is finding my own colour palette that makes me enjoy taking notes (coordinating pen colours + highlighters etc) and also finding what pen / paper settings suits me most!

i write with ball pen on 0.25 with a4 grid page because it’s so comfy to me— but i think everyone does it a different way :)

hellooo ☺️ i mostly use muji 0.5 gel pens in black and royal blue and the muji pastel yellow highlighter ✍️
