Hi, in the previous semester, for one course I typed out notes using LaTeX and then annotated those notes, and for other courses I annotated the ebooks and solved problems in a notebook app separately. To save some time, I'm gonna go with the second option, but I want to be sure that I'm doing it right. Could anyone share how they would annotate a course book in preparation?
The main books I'll be using are Numerical Analysis by Sauer, Math Methods by Boas, Intro Geometrical Optics by Katz, and Griffiths Electrodynamics.
Im more of a physical book copy kind of person.
So i write in it, depending on the difficulty of the book. Some books have more writing then others.
I moved away from fountain pen (i always did my math in pen including test), and been using an ipad m4 for the first time.
So now. I still write in the book, while summarizing and working out problems on the ipad using onenote.
I mainly switched to an ipad, so that i could keep notes and share them. So far, they have helped my neices and nephews and random people I tutored.
Previously, the scribbles in my books were my notes, and i was reviewing old topics. I could get by looking at my markings, instead of the text.
Some people refuse to write in books. I use pen and i dgf.
You can maybe do this process on a tablet. Not sure if Ipad allows this, and never bothered since I own books, and i got the 11inch ipad m4 1tb. I believe its too small for comfortably using split screen with ebook and note app.
I recently purchased a s10 ultra 500gb for a decent price. $1075 usd with tax included. Didnt need it, but wanted a bigger screen, and I can use it as a second monitor [ I use Alienware laptop].
I have seen a student I tutor split the screen with ebook and note app, and it was the perfect size!
