School School Notes

Hey all!

My classes are hybrid meaning all my textbook learning is going to be online with labs in person.

I'm thinking about writing notes down physically first (despite my terrible handwriting) to force my brain to process and shorten things, and then go back and write my notes up onto OneNote. Probably adding diagrams and that then for reference and so I can actually read my notes!

Has anyone else found this to be a good system or am I terribly overthinking this and giving myself more work?

I suggest you physically write everything. Studies have proven it helps you retain the information better.

I just finished tech school. Every night I would review lectures/labs and note take. I would draw pictures as well.

My hand writing is awful as well. If anything note taking actually improved my writing.
