How do you take notes in college?

Well first it’s best to go to your classes… you’ll find out what will all be going on, and some professors don’t allow computer use during class. Also you may get to know your professor a bit and figure out if they’re a fast talker where you might have to the laptop route…
I pretty much always take notes with a notebook and pen. Even if we’re lecturing from powerpoint, in which case the slides will be online for us to look at whenever, because they don’t always stick to the slides.
You have to also consider that a laptop may be distracting… for you, if you might end up going to facebook or other non-school pages… or for others sitting near/behind you because the screen may be in their way of sight, or they just may be curious as to what you’re doing on the computer.
