Sounds like a dumn question on the surface BUT... Do you take notes by hand or type them in class? Do you you use a method like cornell or outlines?
So far I have taken notes by hand and I must say it is harder for me to pay attention while I am scrambling to write it all down. I am debating setting up evernote or one note and typing it all. On the surface it seems good, and then i would have a searchable data base of notes by keyword. Has anyone tried it? How did it work for you?
Do you learn better, and have better retention when you actually write it?
Depends on the class for me. If I print the lectures, I take notes on the side of the page. Some classes I just write in a notebook. This term I started my actual core classes and we have iPads with e-books. I make highlights on the book app and review those afterwards.

If you have a school email address, you can go to microsoft365 and create an account with your school email and download office including onenote for free.
