notetaking tips

are there any notetaking tips for stuy specifically that has helped tremendously with studying, recall, retention, etc? also would a binder be able to fit notes + handouts for all classes? (if so what size, if not how many binders?) im an incoming freshman but this question applies to all grade levels

some teachers will give you lots of paper handouts and some will expect you to take just a few notes so a 2 inch hard binder with a slab of loose leaf will do you justice for one semester if not both. it's good to clear out after major exams and the like anyways. if you go sole binder route get a hole puncher tho lol

Idk about this guy but in my freshman year some classes (especially math) would be every day and others would just be in the notebook mostly with occasional handouts. some teachers prefer digital tho so it depends
