I am from Malaysia, a region of South East Asia.
Are taking notes using iPad behave like an Alien at the classroom in Western Countries?
In Malaysia's students, no one taking notes using tablet pc. If I use iPad to write note, it sounds strange! -

As long as you get the notes down who cares.

I don't need to care too seriously what other students' views.
I just want to know the circumstances/environment of students in Western countries.Last edited by dotcomabc; 05-08-2012 at 04:18. -

Pen and paper is more reliable, quicker and, generally, less difficult. -

Re: iPadThank you!(Original post by Joey Tribbiani)
If you feel youre better with an iPad go for it. I'm just saying it doesnt really matter what you have, whether it is a pen and paper or an iPad, asking as you get your notes down your fine.

Re: iPadPersonally I prefer good old pen and paper. Anything goes, though. Some people prefer taking laptops/netbooks, whereas others like iPads. Go for whichever you prefer.
Personally I still fail to see the point of tablets/iPads. They just seem like gimmicks. All our lecturers are now using them to control the lecture slides, so they can walk around the lecture theatre, etc. but I really don't see what was wrong with them being down the front by the main computer to control it, etc. -

Re: iPadDo whatever you are comfortable it doesn't matter as long as you get the notes down. In my lectures there are a couple of people who use there ipads most people use pen and paper, personally I prefer using pen and paper I tried taking notes with my ipad once but it didn't work for me, again just use whichever method works best for you.

Re: iPadI think an iPad (or similar) is useful for those lectures where the notes have been posted online in PDF format already, and then you can just take it to class and follow it during the lecture. But for actually taking notes... well I studied Maths, where pen and paper is the most convenient by far, rather than messing around with technology, trying to find the right Greek letter or mathematical notation on your virtual keyboard. But if you're taking notes purely in prose, I'd probably rather use a laptop than an iPad. Easier to type on.

In my experience, in a group of around 30 people most would use pen and paper. Around five would use a laptop. No one would use a tablet computer, including an IPad. For my final two years of university I was the only person to use an IPad. However, no one give me strange looks or cared much. People are more interested in taking notes themselves.(Original post by dotcomabc)

Do what feels comfortable for you. I didn't really use the IPad to take notes anyway, as I recorded lectures and seminars (when allowed). Instead I just listened and perhaps used the IPad to make occasional, brief notes or as research when discussing a topic in a seminar.Last edited by River85; 06-08-2012 at 13:31.
