Chemistry Computer at University
Hi!
Anyone studying Chemistry at University, what do you take notes on? I’m starting next September and currently have a macbook but i’m just wondering if it’s any good for writing formulae or drawing compounds as it’s not compatible with a pen. Would people recommend a different brand laptop or one that is touchscreen and almost folds in half so it’s able to be drawn on, or is an ipad easier to use?
Thank youㅤ ᵕ̈

I find that paper and pen/pencil work just fine.
Notes can then be transferred to laptop/pc/mainframe/cloud/ouija board/ later, giving an opportunity to go over lecture notes - win, win.

I usually just use paper. The lecturers usually make available (and sometimes even print) the handouts or powerpoint slides so I tend to write on those. Quite a few people use an ipad (or similar) with a pen; I also know someone with a touchscreen laptop. Depends how you work best
For drawing compounds digitally I use ChemDraw – neater than hand drawn stuff for lab reports or whatever.
I usually download the slides on to my tablet and then annotate them during the lecture. Then usually at a later date (during winter/spring break) write them up on pen and paper and write some flashcards to go with each lecture.
For equation writing, I use LaTeX in Notion or the equation function in MS Word (which can take some practice to use it quickly).
