<p>So what are the most helpful tips/suggestions you have.. (ex: color coding notes, etc)?</p>
<p>I myself am particularly looking for organization tips.. do most of you in someway link technology with your organization habits?.. i dont know.. some software for organizing school work..(maybe even a database type of thing for large files and different versions of your work.. who knows...)?</p>
<p>For linking your notes with software, check out MS OneNote or look at GoBinder: <a href="http://www.gobinder.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.gobinder.com/</a></p>
<p>Both programs will work with Windows based laptops or desktops. However, both really work well with Tablet PCs.</p>
<p>yeah thanks. that should be helpful.. I'll look into it.. I was actually thinking of getting a Tablet PC for college.. hmm</p>
<p>Keep the suggestions coming!</p>
<p>get active desktop calendar. which is a planner and calendar that rests on your desktop as part of your wallpaper. This will help with time management.
Onenote is good for typing up notes.
endnotes is good for organizing research</p>
<p>I will give a look at active desktop calendar but rainlender is what I use: <a href="http://www.ipi.fi/%7Erainy/index.php?pn=projects&project=rainlendar%5B/url%5D">http://www.ipi.fi/~rainy/index.php?pn=projects&project=rainlendar</a></p>
<p>Keep those suggestions coming!</p>
<p>Well, at the risk of sounding like a total cynic... Some hearing-challenged students in my classes sit in the front row with their laptops. There's a program called 'EarWell' that recognizes professor's voice and takes notes for you! O_o I wonder where I can get one of those..
I heard that some poeple use tape (or digital) recorders while taking notes in class - that way they can go back and listen to the lecture they didn't quite understand or forgot right before the final exams. ;)
Personally, I always buy used books - they might not always look brand new, but the notes and underlining some of them have make them priceless. :-D</p>
