This has no doubt been asked before, but I'm too lazy to go searching for it, so i'm just gonna ask it here too What advice does anyone have for how to take notes, whether it be about quantity, quality, or how to space it out with your notebooks (one notebook per subject or one notebook for all subjects or if we should write all notes for the class, tutorials and readings in the same place or not) any help would be much appreciated!

the best advice would probably be to understand as much of the content as you can... and try to summarize it in your own words and make notes .. and not just copying exact words..

Seriously go searching. There are a lot of responses. Most of them long and detailed.
