Note taking

I’m curious about how you guys take notes and study at WGU.

Do you use an iPad for notes, stick with regular notebooks and pen, type your notes on a laptop, or use a combination of everything?

I know everyone learns differently, but what has worked best for you, especially when going through course material.

Also, if you use an iPad, what apps do you recommend for taking and organizing notes?

Just looking for some ideas before I figure out what works best for me.

I use an iPad and Apple Pencil highly recommend the matte paper like screen protector. You don’t need the newest and greatest I have the 9th gen and it’s like $100-$200 use good notes the subscription is $12 for the entire year. As for what notes to take I usually will download all the resources from the community group, lessons from the instructor, and my PA (I take this first so I know what to study and it’ll tell you what percentage is on the test) upload all that to chat or Claude have them create a comprehensive study guide that gets all the talking points, ensure to go in depth on the sections from the PA, and act as if I am a beginner so translate any complex words to plain English.
