Laptop or Book? (1 Viewer)

the amount of procrastination when using a laptop...

is too damn high

Using both. Books for class notes etc. and laptop for research/assignments.

Actually writing things down helps retain the knowledge in my opinion, when I type because it's a lot faster I take in less of it.

research is easier

I don't think you would be doing research. If research needs to be done in class then your teacher would take you to a computer lab. If you're thinking of doing subjects like chemistry where there's an extensive use of irregular typeface (such as arrows and subscripts), you'll be better off with writing.

Keep in mind that you would also be getting handouts in class. It'll be bothersome to keep the handouts and notes in order if you're going to organise them in different places (i.e. digital and hard copy).

Do you think that buying an exercise book for each subject topic and then using the information at the end of every week to make notes on loose leaf paper (and then filing into corresponding folders) would be a good method as well?

That's a good idea. It's more or less similar to what I did. What I did was used a book instead of loose sheets and a folder.

I can imagine the flaws in that if the stupid government enforce it...

I believe that writing things down helps you with remembering things, whereas typing isn't as effective. Is that just me or?

Not just you. Writing helps me remember things better too.
