Hey @Yangkie ,

It depends a lot on how you take notes and how you best memorise information. I took all my Chemistry notes with a pen and paper, because it was the method I was most used to at that point and I liked having a copy of notes for each module that I could physically organise in my own way for revision.

An iPad will definitely help in the sense that you'll have less to carry to class and you'll have all your notes in one place - but it's probably also easier to get distracted with it during class time if you're not someone who's fully focused on taking notes. How useful each method ultimately is comes down to what works best for you as a learner. 🙂

Hope this was helpful!
