Digital Note Taking for Engineering Students using Microsoft OneNote [CC]

What note taking strategies do you use as an engineering student? What new strategies did you learn from this video that you are going to add to your note taking toolbox?

The problem with the powerpoints given to me is that its information that only makes sense when you use it with the lecture videos provided. I'm gonna try following this video, i've got 2 years of notes i need to do lol

LaTeX¡¡!!!!!!¡!¡!¡!¡¡!!!!!!!!!

The clicking needs to be slowed down, but a good informative video.

which digital pen type do you use?

Hi Kelly,

Great work on the video and organizing classes (congratulation if you have already graduated). You mentioned that you are using the iPad pro, do you still recommend that for this purpose?

Thanks

Thank you so much! Finally a video that is actually useful and not trying to sell me something! Really appreciated it this really helped a lot

I am going to use every strategy from this video, a real helpful video, just made me realize the power of digital notetaking.

Free mind is also one of the Better tools for mind mapping

Kelly thanks for this video. I'm using some of your tips for my software development studies.

Do you use a wiring tablet for writing out those equations

I would love an app that would make my lines straight and circles circular. I saw a girl in my class that used something like that, but she used an ipad and I use a windows tablet. Anyone know something like that?

I kinda gave up on onenote atually but this video gave me the motivation to give it one more try. thanks for that! :) much love from Germany!

Very very helpful and concise,
Liking and Subbing
Thank you

Legend for this one

This video came into my autoplay while I was looking for a good notes demo in OneNote for engineering majors! Thank you so much for taking the time to walk through this, I am copying your template to use through the rest of my studies! Buying a surface for digital notes was the best decision I've made yet.

What version of OneNote is this ?? Were the section group is on the top

hey kelly if you can make more of this on colorful notetaking and math equation writing tips please do it.

how do you add more pens?

I'm relatively new to digital note taking and you've been a really big help to my messy OneNote structure

Hello, may I ask what monitor setup you are using? thank you! :)

hey, I'm an electrical engineering student too, if it's possible can you share the notes with me? (Btw I'm 3rd year)

Wow !!! Thank you so much for this video ! I am soo glad I found you !!!

was wondering, if you print to onenote say for example a PowerPoint. If i loose the original file would i still be able to see the presentation on my onenote notebook?

This is by far the best setup for OneNote that I've ever seen. (Personally speaking).
BTW, I'm a Computer Engineering student.

can u share your customization settings please

Thanks, Kelly, for the deep dive in actually using OneNote. As one who uses this tool extensively every day, I agree with what you are presenting.
For those interested in taking this further
* I would also investigate the Outlook/To Do integration to let you flag a line item in your OneNote as a task and then track it through to completion. If you have an assignment, then flag it in OneNote when you receive it with reminders to ensure you don't miss a deadline.
* Setup your own schema of custom tags to mark like actions in the pages as you take the notes and be able to collate them quickly using the Find Tags, sort by Tag Title process. Make the custom tag from one of the clickable options and you can track what is still outstanding at any time.
* For those in industry setup shared notebooks in Teams/SharePoint and use it as a WIKI for your team with all the group procedures / learnings. This then is the single source of truth for new team members instead of bombarding them with a thousand email/word documents as they try to get up to speed and can be used as a reference going forward. They can sync the document to their PCs / mobile devices for reference at any time.
I would encourage people to look deeper into OneNote as it WILL make your life better.

was very excited when the first window surface came out to do the digital note taking, I didnt have time to lean as school started and i was forced back to my old habits. 7 years later after university and now employed i am trying once again to get into digital note taking at work lmaooo. wish i had learned this when i was in school, would have been so helpful

Hey amazing video, just what i needed to learn as I just got an ipad and want to learn how to use it for study more! I was just wondering how you synced using one note with one note for windows 10. I didn't think that was possible!

Can you easily control F the words you have hand written?

This is your only video on your channel and THE most influential! Thank you for sharing your organization tips as it has proved most useful and I have received many compliments. I have used these tips for two semesters and it has Greatly effected my efficiency.

You are hardcore. I've been a mechanical design engineer for more than 20 years. I just found this video and I'm getting some great tips!!! (I don't have "classes", of course, but I have many customers and many projects. I've used OneNote off and on over the years, and I'm just now really getting back into it. This video is just what I needed to realize the power of this program. Thank you!

(It would have been so cool to have had this in school 25-30 years ago!!!)

Great job Kelly and love your approach.

how did you condense your different subject notebooks into one for the semester?

why is there a blacksmith in the background?

Excellent tutorial. Thank you! I’m a longtime OneNote user & last had formal education 44 yes ago, but learned ideas/techniques that will be useful.

Ótimas dicas! Obrigado.

I try one note today and its amazing i will try to use the highlight color guide you use kelly, thanks for the video

Thank you , I really appreciate it.

Great video thanks!

How do you go about turning your class notebooks into one semester notebook? Do you have to manually copy paste each section?

Yeah so right engineering stundend are underrepresented in these videos

Thanks for this video. Please bring more of these videos. More tips and tricks. ❣️❣️❣️

One of the best OneNote videos I've come across! Extremely informative!

Great subject for note-taking. Problem: The background music is so distracting and affects hearing some words spoken

Is this using 2in1 laptop, or using ipad?
Can u show what device that u use?

How do you get the 2016 version?

Nice.
Will reference this again periodically.
