Greetings,
What's your opinion on the best possible format for typing notes?
I am assuming word document is certainly at the top. If so, how do you write yours? for example, dot points, chunks or a constant flow of info?
I thought power point could also be interesting, for example putting them on a couple slides and printing them off, maybe 2 sides a page.
Opinions please!

Depends on the individual

I personally find dot points/certain chunks really beneficial

I also use flow charts and diagrams for content heavy sections since i'm a practical/visual learner

here are a couple of dotpoints from my HSC Phys notes:









the way I found the best worked for me was to have the dot point in a nice colour and then the bare minimum you have to know for all the marks typed up in one paragraph.

I kept a blue theme for physics, red for maths, orange for english, etc etc

Use tables. Left column place the topic, then right column place your dot points/diagrams. Search up Cornell Notes
