Why do people say OneNOte is so much better for taking notes?

Imo it makes everything really cluttered and its very tedious making boxes everywhere.

Your opinions?

You can take notes in onenote just like you would in word (don't bother with boxes unless you need to, just take straight notes) except that the organization system is amazingly better.

i use a tablet so i'm forced into using onenote

comparing it to word?

in one note you have notebooks, and inside the notebooks you can have different tabs, and inside each tab are the individual pages you write on and they're arranged automatically into chronological order. it's very, very organized.

with word you have to open each individual file : I

edit: here's an example from my notebook

I don't have a tablet but I use onenote for classroom notes. Best idea I ever had =D. In fact the ginormous writer's bump on my middle finger is about half the size it was last semester, and my fingers ache a lot less when I'm typing. Oh, and I don't lose notes anymore and they're really neat and organized.

I don't know what you're talking about with the boxes. You can use it straight up with just one "textbox"... but if you need flexibility and want to move shit around, you can click somewhere where there's no text and open a second box. Like for my todo list I have shit scattered around as little "notes to self" so I don't have to scroll down.

And yes, the built in organizational tools are fucking awesome...

Gotta agree with the organisation and tabs system is so great. That's the sole reason I'm using it. I used to have like 50 billion separate word documents organised into a ton of folders and that wasn't too fun.

Onenote is so good. It's really easy to organize your notes into different sections/notebooks. I just use one page per note taking session. Saves me so much time in the long run.

OneNote is good, but I've only ever used it with my tablet. Without it, I don't think it would provide *that* many advantages.

It's good because you can categorize your notes by subject and lecture, etc.
Oh no

I've always found note taking to be an ultimately counterproductive activity. Your textbook has more and better information than you could ever transcribe in a classrooom, organised and referenced much better than one could ever hope to scribble down in a frenzy. The best thing to do in class to take everything out of your hands, sit down, and listen. It's been my experience that the people who worry the most about taking notes are the same people who are spending so much time trying to write that they are totally unable to actually pay attention. At the end of the class you end up with a bunch of crappy notes and no idea of what the heck was just said.

You waste the one valuable thing which a professor can bring to a class - a unique way of presenting information in a way that can make it easier to understand - and you walk away with something of less value than you already have in a book. You're then forced to go back to the book to try to understand your notes, which is basically the same as starting with the book to begin with, since your notes are just a bad copy of what's in the book.

If you pay attention in class, though, you begin to get an idea of what is being taught and you can start to form a framework in your mind with the important core bits. Then you walk away from class with your foot in the proverbial door of knowledge. Going to the textbook now means you have the head start you need to make reading the text a manifestly more manageable experience. Listening in class gives you important tools and perspectives which make your book learning more effective.

Perhaps this may not be a universal truth, but I've found it holds in a lot of cases.
