Pen and paper is the best.

Seriously though, pen and paper is the best way. Write on a notebook, or on pre-printed lecture notes. Everything else is added hassle.
I definitely second this.

OP, you're going to find it difficult to use an iPad for the units you're doing anyway.

Ozko, specifically which units ??
Economics is better with pen & paper considering all the graphs you'll be drawing.

Otherwise, print out the slides and writing additional notes along the sides.

I got a Samsung Note 10.1 which has a S Pen...which is really useful. Mostly using it if we need to get extra info and reading materials :)

Get a laptop rather than a tablet for note taking... tablets should only be used for lecture slides imo.

I got a macbook pro for uni, and I'm planning on getting a tablet to take to school on the days i cbs to bring it :)

My combo for High School =
MBA 11"- I take on days purely for note taking
Mini- I use purely for textbooks (and FIFA :p)
I find this combo efficient

MBA 11", that thing is ridiculously tiny! if you want to get a laptop for studying purposes ONLY (no leisure), then yeah I guess it's alright.

But then again, not many people are that rich :p I hate tiny screens, I wanted to throw my stupid school laptop out the window sometimes.
