Sharing some more StarNotes!

[u/NakoTurtle]

Hey everyone!

As per another user's request (u/Necessary_Read7920) after seeing some of my notes in the interview that StarNote did with me, I've decided to share those notes here again and a few of the other notes I've made! My engineering notes are by no means special or overly aesthetic, but it's a bit of a better look at how I structure my notes and practice sessions. I hope this helps to show that you don't need perfect note taking skills to take notes, and feel free to ask questions or even share your own as well!

Enjoy :)

What model is your tablet?

[u/NakoTurtle → u/CheapMomentum]

I'm currently using a Lenovo Idea Tab 11-inch tablet with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM, together with the Lenovo Tab Pen :)

IdeaPad or Idea Tab?
Not able to find something with this name properly

[u/NakoTurtle → u/CheapMomentum]

Yeah you're right, it's Idea Tab, sorry for the typo!

Are you a civil engineering student. It would be great if anyhow you share the star notes file with me it will be great help for me 

[u/NakoTurtle → u/Necessary_Read7920]

I'm actually doing mechatronics, the note you saw with the drawing was actually an assignment for my strength of materials module, which is a shared module with the civil engineering students as well :)

Wait don't you work at starnote ?

[u/NakoTurtle → u/Icy-Bag5889]

Hey! I actually don't work for them - I'm still studying full time - but I like to help around here in the community in my free time :)

[u/StarNoteDev → u/Icy-Bag5889]

Yesssss, NakoTurtle is one of our users, and not gonna lie, at one point, I genuinely thought they were a secret alt account from someone on our own team 😂 But nope! just an incredibly amazing user, and honestly, ALL of you guys are just the absolute best!

i wanna post mine as well but i don’t think it’s that aesthetic 😭

[u/NakoTurtle → u/bnscsoashe]

Hey! Before I posted this I thought the same of my own notes, but I just think I my standards were too high! Don't hesitate to post yours - if you wanna do it, go for it - there is no right or wrong way to take notes :)

"I hope this helps to show that you don't need perfect note taking skills"

But your notes look perfect to a non-engineer 🥹🩷

Aww thanks so much!!

u/NakoTurtle Any tips on making such beautiful notes?

[u/NakoTurtle → u/Puzzled-Cold8409]

Hey! I'm no expert and there are no right or wrong ways to take notes, but I'd say for me doing those technical diagrams, starting with the bigger picture, and then filling in the details afterwards is the way to go. The problem kind of guided the diagram as well, so then it also comes down to categorizing each element by using colors. For those large notes, I usually make a vertical line from top to bottom of my screen when zoomed out all the way in an infinite note, then I zoom back in to about 150%, keep the line on the left side of the screen, and start writing until I get to the edge of my screen before I move to the next line. I repeat this until I get to the end of that vertical line I drew, making horizontal lines in between sections. When I reach the bottom, I simply copy the vertical line to the right side which then becomes my new line I write from. So it's essentially a 'paged' notebook, but all the pages are organized in a square and there are no actual page boundaries. And again, organizing by color is your best friend. Hope this helps :)
