Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would like to ask for some commentary on note taking formats that others use. Do you use a single-row format, or do you evolve your notes both horizontally and vertically? Within a personal context, I feel that a purely vertical format results in more readily intelligible notes. Simultaneously, I can see how such constraints could both burden the learning process and stifle the constructive spontaneity necessary for the same.

I might be overvaluing the importance of this. Do others find that note taking methodologies substantially assist the process of learning or analysis?

Adjacently, I would appreciate if someone could be so kind as to recommend some notebooks that they have found perform ideally within a university setting. I’m a bit reluctant to mention the mildly irritating topic of consumer advice. If you will understand, I will be entering into a university this fall, and I am mostly unfamiliar with the novel territory of the notebook market.

Thank you again.
