Digitalized study environment discussion

i have gone fully digital

I really like wood and paper for drawing and modeling.
Recently learnt how exactly an old windmill works this way

Mostly, though its very recent.

I still prefer paper for taking notes, I feel I retain it better, and it just feels more natural to me. But I've started doing all my homework in Latex after working out the problem on a whiteboard. I already spent way too much time writing on paper trying to make my shitty handwriting look neat, only for it to look like shit anyway, and I already know latex well, and figured it would impress the normies.

Which High School do you need to sue?

My library of books and research papers is digital.

If I have to concentrate on reading for extended periods of time, i.e. research papers in detail I will just print them and work with them only pen and paper. Gives me less distractions.

Thanks.

I see.

you're welcome.
i find it a lot easier to use a digital environment because i can find things faster
i'm not limited by flipping through an index, for example

in the case of math, i can rapidly prototype by using a computer algebra system
in the case of computer science, well...you kind of need a digital environment to do anything anyway

overall, i believe it works better because i can utilize a ludicrous amount of sources to study from

Psychology research points out that when you are learning something, physically writing down notes helps you retain more information than reading notes on a computer. Take that as you will. Digital is great for management and organization but at the end of the day I still want things on paper.

I usually have a paper notebook around to write in as it tends to be faster and more accessible.

I'm oldschool. I print out all papers. I like to use highlighters, and I also like the intuitive feel of volume in stacks of paper. I have a couple of whiteboards that i use extensively. I have never used a digital sketching tool that allows all the versatility of paper.

only brainlets talk shit about psychology

I do close to all of my work digitally, though there are some processes that need a lot of freedom, where I still prefer to do it by hand.

This includes rough math and annotation of books/written work. Both of these could be replaced, but imo most of the software out there is simply not intuitive enough.

I use a hybrid approach, I take notes by hand occasionally but sometimes I type them up in LaTeX and print them out and put them in a binder.

About half of my books are digital. Might reduce that by selling the hardcopies because moving with books is a hassle; I prefer to travel light.

all my classes are physics classes, so yeah paper and pencil

there are a handful (like 3 out of 100) who use a stylus on a tablet here

when I was still taking GE's every person in the class would be on their laptop
3/4 on facebook etc doing nothing school related
why even go? it's not like there is attendance or participation points

I found it too difficult to organize and navigate my research notes on paper. I do everything in vim or Evernote now.
