<p>I use notebooks to draw pictures while my teacher is talking
and I use binders to keep those pictures in...</p>
<p>I like the notebooks with the spine protectors.</p>
<p>my favorite notebooks are the nice five star ones because they have big pages and have plenty of pockets in fronts to keep looseleafs</p>
<p>my stuff always falls out when I use the pockets.</p>
<p>For math and spanish, we are required to have notebooks. For history, science, and language arts, we turn in our notes regularly so i just do them on paper and staple them together and file them when i get them back.</p>
<p>At my school, we use laptops, so I end up typing the majority of my notes. I love it because you can get so much stuff down that I would never have time for if I had to hand write everything. But I do have a notebook for Spanish because she doesn't like us to ues our computers and a notebook of graph paper for math.</p>
<p>I like folders and looseleaf paper, with the occasional notebook. But, the only class where I consistently take notes, the teacher makes us keep an idiotic ordered notebook thingy.</p>
<p>Legal pad.</p>
<p>It depends on what the teacher requires. Though, I prefer notebooks.</p>
<p>I use portfolios with tabs. There are some nice plastic type ones. It's so easy to stay organized, and you never need to hole punch or tear papers out as with a binder or notebook.</p>
<p>my teachers want us to use binders..i personally hate them..i would rather use a spiral notebook...SOO much easier (plus u can use the folders included in the book or get ur own separately 8) )</p>
<p>i use NBs for math, english, and physics.
fivestar spiral NBs rock.</p>
<p>binders for spanish and APUSH.
binders are good for classes where you have a ton of handouts.
i despise binders tho. usually i just organize my things in the binders
and never carry them to class. i write notes on spare looseleaf.</p>
<p>yup i've been doin that too verbivorous</p>
<p>I use both.</p>
<p>I prefer direct Chalkboard-to-Brain Osmosis. I'm too kool to take notes. :cool: :rolleyes:</p>
<p>and too "kool" to spell right?</p>
<p>He's too kool, but I'm too kewl.</p>
<p>composition notebooks ftw... or none at all</p>
<p>i am so thoroughly against binders. this year i developed a new system (i'm a BIG office-supplies nerd)...i bought a five-subject notebook and a ton of those floppy plastic folders, two for each subject. started out using one folder, and halfway thru the year took out JUST the important stuff, left the rest @ home and started using the 2nd (so everything stays together & reasonably organized come finals). five subject notebook doesn't actually work all that well as a system. back to one-subjs for next year....</p>
<p>I must be the one exception...I hate notebooks and swear by binders. With notebooks, I end writing everything everywhere and stuffing papers all over the place so that I can never find anything. We have block days so I have two binders, one for the odd blocks and one for the even blocks. For each subject, I'll have five dividers (notes, current assignments, old assignments, tests/quizzes, miscellaneous). I also got some of those extra plastic pockets so I have some place to store things that I haven't gotten around to hole punching while still being somewhat organized.</p>
