thats what i did, i know environmentally it probably isnt the better option, although the energy consumption of a computer is probably equal, but yeah i got it at skool so that i didnt have to use my home paper and ink

I am constantly getting hand-outs and so I highlight and then write my own notes as we get them. I do it as I go... pretty easy to do. Anything in class is usually relevant.

but it's too hard too check out the syllabus on a LCD screen..it hurts the eyes...if you know what I mean...

SO like do you have any suggestions?



ANYWAY..who actually prints the syllabus for each of their subjects????
Is there a way of saving paper? Obviously reading it off the computer screen but...it's uncomfortable...hmm maybe teachers have them..probably should get it from them..:jaw:
i print only the necessary pages double sided, and sometimes put 2 pages on one a4 page...
the maths e1 syllabus is shocking though....couldnt find a way to cut it down, so had to print the whole thing.......
and it's like
l l
thick
but its got the formulae and equations so i def will use it :)

Yep, I've started making notes for Chemistry, Biology, Business Studies and Economics. Maths, I'm soo lost because our teacher's way of teaching is so complicated and drives us nuts.....And for English, there's nothing much to do except to have a good nap, and to write up some creatives for class...
You better start making notes now, so when it comes to the half-yearly and yearly, you wouldn't have anything to write then, it's just a matter of going through your notes and attempting exam questions...

What exactly are you all referring to when you say notes? Like the definitions, formulas, and just general 'answers' to the syllabus dot points? For example, in the resources section here there's heaps of dot point summaries, are they pretty much what you're creating for your own notes?

I have received the syllabus from teachers in all my subjects (even art :rolleyes: ), except for maths. Lucky, I would hate to print them off ! D: For us assessment week is next week, I have exams for chem, bio, maths and english, I've made sweet bio notes, half way through chem, probably wont do a lot more for maths but I have to do a few for english. English is a hard one to write notes for but I do think its necessary.
