note taking - notebook or 3-ring binder

<p>this year, I decided to use a 3-ring binder to take all of my notes in thinking it would be more practical to be able to put pages in when I need to or rearrange pages. however, as the year progressed, i stopped putting pages in my binder. honestly, i do not know how it happened, but eventually i had pages of notes in random places and all over the floor of my room. i know this may be a silly question, but i feel like something as simple as whether you take notes in a binder or notebook could affect one's performance in a class. i know some may say you should take notes in whatever makes you comfortable, but what do you guys use? notebook, binder/looseleaf, clipboard? and why (i'm still a senior in high school btw and want to know if i should stick with binders in college)</p>

<p>i have a three subject five star notebook just for notes and then seperate notebooks for hw... lol... binders are too much of a pain... if you run out of pages or you could lose pages ... gah...
but i guess its personal preference... lol</p>

<p>Don't bother taking notes.</p>

<p>try memorizing the lectures.....</p>

<p>It seems like everybody here uses subject notebooks – I can’t recall ever seeing someone use a binder. I personally use a legal pad, because I hate it when the metal spiral thing on the subject notebook is underneath my writing hand.</p>

<p>yea...use subject notebooks. Pages always end up ripping out really easily from binders...and might even get lost :/</p>
