> grinding practice problems / taking notes

sigh.....the practices of you lesser minds continue to amuse and delight me

>>8545328
whiteboards are nice but they're a pain in the ass

I just bulk buy printer paper when there's a sale and use that

Get you one of these anon. They work great for scratch paper.

>for grinding practice problems / taking notes
...I use printer paper pilfered from the PC lab.
>for assignments
...I use pale green paper from the bookstore.
Thus I can spot my papers from the plebian pile.

you probably barely get a B in some of your classes.

if you're so smart getting anything less than 100% should bother you

You're No3- arrows and resonances are a bit interesting

Yeah I fucked up there, definitely created some extra electrons in there. Hopefully won't do that again.

it is okay.
I can see your shortcomings -10 seconds from now
there is nothing to worry about

My school's various student services all have 8.5x11 fliers advertising their varied services. 50% are one sides. They're all crazy, non-white colors. Me and my drafting pen (TD Bank) don't care. I took hundreds of these and used mostly all.

I buy that cheap, loose leaf binder paper and just use that for practice problems.

Id typically go through 25-40 pages per exam, so about $4 of paper per year.

Not per year, per semester

I just picked up a Surface Pro 4 a few months back and find it perfect for this. I have all of my practice problems saved neatly into OneNote 2016 and use it for everything school related.

Writing on paper feels a little odd now. Writing on the glass surface with the original pen nib feels pretty good.

If you can get through the initial learning curve, I think it'd be worth it. So long as you have the money.

Legal Pads

>>8546141

Pretty much this. I tend to use Rhodia due to my tendency to collect pens, so I've ended up being a total paper snob.

>>8545328
I used to do it on papers but I lost them. Now I do it on little notebook.

>I feel like I'm going through an insane amount of paper(could be more efficient space wise).
Clarity and ability to decipher yourself > space.
I also always write with pencil lead to quickly erase dumb mistakes.

Are those really worth the money if you're not rich? Need a good notebook to keep with me at all times

>>8546167

I'd say they're reasonably worth the money, that is if you're using some decent pens with them. By build quality, they last a long time, and they're really pleasant to use.

I wouldn't recommend the Webnotebooks, though. It's pretty much a Moleskine rip-off at that point, and you're paying $10 extra for a leather cover. The legal pads are generally the best.

If you're looking for more journal-like notebooks that won't cost you an arm and a leg, I would recommend Greenroom notebooks, which you can order online or most department stores in the US. They're a little bit above Mead and Five Star notebooks in price, but they're still fairly decent (except for the fact that they don't come in graph paper formats).

If you don't like any of these options, though, I'd just recommend simple spiral graph notebooks. Super expensive paper isn't what makes your ideas better - it's your ideas themselves!

what is /sci/'s opinion on this?

>that is if you're using some decent pens with them

I'm using some middle-of-the-road rollerball pens, if you have pen recommendations too I'd be interested to hear them

>If you're looking for more journal-like notebooks that won't cost you an arm and a leg, I would recommend Greenroom notebooks, which you can order online or most department stores in the US.

Oh great, I appreciate the suggestions as I'm sick of my cheap mead notebooks. The paper crinkles very easily and feels rough to write on.

>Super expensive paper isn't what makes your ideas better - it's your ideas themselves!

Very true! However I feel my ideas transition from the realm of thoughts to the realm of notes much more fluidly when all my utensils are comfortable.

The free legal pads provided by basically any university to its faculty and graduate students, why would you use anything else?

Kek brainlet detected

But seriously though, I just stick to graph or plain white paper and pencil on my desk.

Who the hell keeps making these pics

Am I the only one who does practice problems on paper and saves literally all of it in case I need it for future reference?

Pic is stuff from 2 classes

I have a Rhodia Reverse Book that I use for general thoughts / sketches, and it is very nice. I usually just use cheap Staples / Office Depot legal pads for most notes though

>>8546707

omg nice catch

>tfw you are smart enough to practice without writing on paper thus preventing unnecessary deforestation
