Easy- Oh no you didn’t

Back to OP: From the comments alot of people are talking about noise.The keyboard on my laptop is quiet, well you can hear some typing but its really not enough to annoy anyone.
I do like to study using paper so I bought a great laser printer and a huge box of paper so after I typed all my notes I would just print it and place it in my binder.
However to be quite honest your not going to know which is best until after school starts. As the above method only worked in some of biology class.

The second method I had was that alot of profs like to put up either pdfs or powerpoints of their notes before class. So I would print it out either that morning or the night before and just write on that. Problem with that is that sometimes there is not alot of space to write my notes on.

The last method is the one I hate the most but had to do it thanks to organic chemistry. Write my notes the old fashion way in notebook. Problem is that my prof talked so fast and I write slow however only choice as there were to many things that needed to be drawn. Benefits: Saved my back!!!
