I used to use notepad/sublime/vim with bash syntax highlighting and then eventually php highlighting, but >>52462766 and inb4 everyone else who says the same thing has a point. Handwriting your shit is almost always more effective.

Ultimately try different stuff and see what works best for you.

This.

Libre office writer, or pencil and paper.
Only really type noted for comp sci related courses where I already know the info. I'm just making references and examples.

Handwrite your notes.

As for typing it up and organizing them, use onenote or zim. You should be copying your handwritten notes onto your computer anyways, as it helps with learning it.

see >>52462766 or vim

I use a livescribe pen.

All our lectures have mics. And the desks have head phone jacks. I plug a cable from the headphone jack , into my live scribes mic port. And get fantastic audio too.


Fucking love it.

This. Handwrite your notes, then copy them. You get the benefits of actually doing handwriting, which is better for learning [0], the benefits of reviewing your notes, which you will do while typing them in, and the benefits of not having to deal with papers and shitty handwriting because the notes are safe and sound on your note-taking platform of choice.

I use TiddlyWiki it's the bomb. I use it for every course including math courses in real time (realtime latex support, i use detexify if i need to create a symbol that i've never seen before)

You'll actually remember stuff by handwriting.

You'll eventually develope shortcuts and abbreviations so you can keep up with any lecture. You might type fast and store more information that way, but you depend on your computer.

Handwriting easily BURNS the lesson into your brain, no joke.
