Note Taking during Engineering Lectures

[dream chaser]

Hi Guys,

I have a quick question here.

How do you recommend to take notes during Lectures for Engineering? Writing in books or typing on a Laptop?

Thanks. All replies will be much appreciated.

It’s really up to you and how you learn best. If you learn best via a computer, type away! If you learn best by drawing diagrams by hand, then go for that.

It’s purely a personal preference.

Hey, dream chaser!

As AW said above, it really comes down to what works best for you. I personally prefer hand-written/hardcopy notes. I don't do Engineering but I do a lot of units that require me to draw diagrams and notate music during my lectures which is much easier to do with manuscript paper (or graph/lined paper in your case) and a pencil than on the computer in real time  You can always make softcopy notes later on in your own time if you would prefer them to be backed up digitally and to have them neater and well-presented for revision. You could always try out both and find out but I'm definitely on team hand-written notes  Hope that helps!
