<p>1) How many students take notes directly on their laptops in class, skipping paper note taking altogether? </p>
<p>Depends on the class. If it’s a lecture class (especially with slides) expect lots of laptops. If it’s math or science, expect a few laptops and lots more pencil and paper.</p>
<p>2) If so, is it difficult to study for a test off of a laptop? </p>
<p>Depends on the student. People study in different ways.</p>
<p>3) What programs do students use for note taking? </p>
<p>I’ve seen lots of OneNote, and whatever that mac os program is also. Plus plain old Word.</p>
<p>4) Do you keep things in “cloud space” or on the hard drive?</p>
<p>Both. Cloud space is very handy for transferring files between computers, or just simply accessing them from different computers (friends, computer lab, etc).</p>
<p>5) Do you (or most students) use a paper calendar/todo organization system or do they rely on their laptops calendar and/or todo feature to stay organized?</p>
<p>I use a paper calendar. Many people use electronic ones, but I like my paper one.</p>
<p>6) What other software do students tend to find beneficial in college?</p>
<p>Honestly, Word, Powerpoint, and whatever you need to do your assignments is all you need.</p>
