Love your videos! I am about to go into my third year of nursing school and I just bought an iPad 9.7” because of your videos and September.Studies. Love seeing the notes in perspective to the same content I am learning. You do a fantastic job with your notes and videos. I hope I am able to do the same! Keep being awesome and go us for becoming Nurses!!!!!!!!

[@_astralix]

I love your neat lecture notes! I literally watch your first video NONSTOP just because of how neat it is and I think it’s the best iPad notes ever. Even though I’m not in University yet, this really motivates me for back to school next month and just studying, note taking, and education in general.. about to go to middle school.. 😅 It really makes me look forward to getting an iPad 2018 9.7 inch and taking it to school for notes. Great channel. ❤️❤️❤️

[@NursingWithBenomi]

Great tips, especially on the shortcut words. I used those in school and I still use them whenever I take report at work!

[@daniellecoffey8451]

My last year of nursing school starts in the fall and I’ve been debating on investing in an iPad Pro. I want to finish out strong and be more studious so your videos have really motivated me. 😊💪🏿

[@StarryCheesecake]

I'm an incoming first year nursing student who just bought the ipad 2018 and apple pencil and honestly your videos are so helpful. it really clears up the first year jitters and anxieties about notetaking and nursing in general. Thank you for the great content! 💕

[@JaniceStudies]

Best of luck in nursing school!! I was just as anxious as you before I started but you reallyl do settle into it quickly. Thank you for your support!

[@sunflowergirl7096]

I love your channel! Really helps when I’m taking notes! 😅

The best video on note taking. I always wonders how people make notes so neat while the profesor is talking.This is pretty clear!

[@BelindaBower]

I watched this video to learn more about Goodnotes but found myself continually pausing it to read your notes as I have Graves Disease. Your videos are clear and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.

[@karimabourayan6778]

Your handwriting is beautiful even in class. I think I saw Notability icon in the productivity folder in the first screenshot. If so, would you give us a comparison between Goodnotes 4 and Notability?

[@JaniceStudies]

Thank you! And yes - Notability was the first note-taking app I used when I got my iPad. I bought Goodnotes shortly after and I much prefer Goodnotes now. I can totally do a comparison video :)

[@omark.8509]

Yes please!! A comparison video would be great :D

[@huuanhhieunguyen7871]

Hi Janice, can you review using apple pencil in ipad 2018 and can you make a video regarding comparison between ipad 2018 and ipad pro in study purpose (like taking note or planning) thanks

[@sercane4341]

I'm waiting next ipad pro.. I was searching how will I use iPad for taking notes then I found your videos and watch all of them you should continue this concept how you study etc. with iPad . Feeling good watching you while you are writing with apple pencil :)

[@JaniceStudies]

Thank you for your support!!

[@luciathefemininewoman]

I think making annotations or writing on Powerpoints is a passive way of being an active learner or good at studying. Because when you're following along in class you're passively making comments, or annotations as you follow along with the lecture. Instead, I only stick with my way of note-taking which is the outline method. Instead of writing on the powerpoints I would preview the powerpoints like a textbook, and write the topic, subtopics, keep my notes short and legible in bullet points, including concepts such as examples, definitions or what includes more about the sub-topic. And last I include any important information by drawing asterisks to show what is majorly important. For reviewing and studying I only use notes as a reference or to refer back. While studying I would use active reading strategies that only works best for me. Like creating a different version of my notes which is the mind map or I create a practice test or look up a practice test. This allows the student to recall without looking at the sources to help with recall. And since you did a video on making flashcards I'm planning on using your fill in the blank method to study actively, and not like students who use a passive yet outdated version of studying your flashcards. I'm hoping it will work for me because I've been interested in writing prompts so your method of making flash cards is genius.

[@tiff67890]

what would you do with notes from textbook readings? i'm not sure if it'd be better to create a separate notebook for them or just put all of my notes together in my review notes. Opinions?

[@Joyydiaz]

Hi Janice thank you for the video. Im collecting tips & tricks to stay organized and study for nursing this fall so I’m stalking all of your videos lol. I was wondering why you use Google Drive instead of OneDrive or iCloud? What is the benefit?

[@iantoniali]

I love what you do and how you explain your processes. Why don't you make a video telling us the best note taking apps that you use/recommend?

[@neo2438]

Hey Janice.... I was wondering if you use a screen protector... Which one it is?

[@beadavid8291]

By the way, thanks so much for that info. 😂

[@asianofshield]

the category thing is a good idea. my professor's lectures are all over the place lmao

[@angelANDpeace]

I’m looking for a new way to study so that I could get better grades and I got the iPad to see if it would work for me. I’m going to try your way of studying. So thanks for the tips!!! 🌸

[@JaniceStudies]

Yay!! Good luck!

[@IPScrap]

Thanks ☺️

[@JaniceStudies]

Thank you!

[@luciathefemininewoman]

You should do a video of how you study from reading assignments.

[@asiyazahoor00]

This video was so helpful! Do you print your notes for when you're studying?

[@JaniceStudies]

Rarely!

[@IPScrap]

Great video, thanks. Do you have any planner organization for college, that you can make a video. I’m going to college next month and need help.

[@JaniceStudies]

Sure! I will add that to the list :) Thank you so much!

[@dlldll7482]

The process takes waaaaaay too long for me to try it. not a fan of the method but I loved the video ❤

[@shristiraj470]

Please make a video on how to memorize digital notes..

[@hello_dayana]

Omg I use the same shortened words except I abbreviate my "between" to "b/t"!! That's so interesting

[@sassieladyB]

What do you do when your professors don’t give power points ??

[@jacopopodavini4681]

Do you think the 9.7 screen is kinda small? Or you just get used? Thinking to get iPad Pro 10.5 or the 2018. Ty

[@Amanda.656]

so interesting.. about the symbols I do the same but the triangle for me means the concentration of something.

[@valentinagastaldo7529]

Your notes are so beautiful and your videos so relaxing to watch 💓 I just have a question: don’t you lose a loro of time writing again your notes after classes? I have an iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil and I love to take notes on it with Notability, but my notes are not that neat. At the same time I am afraid to spend too much time on writing them down at home. Thank you 💓

[@JaniceStudies]

I spend about 1-3 hours doing these review notes but I retain so much information when I do them. I tried Notability before and found that my writing is actually much neater and smoother in Goodnotes! Don't be afraid to spend that much time! Doing anything that helps you understand the information better is not a waste of time :) Thanks for watching!!

[@valentinagastaldo7529]

Janice Studies I just noticed some mistakes in my previous message 😅 I’m sorry but I’m italiano and my iPhone changed some english words into italian. But the way, I like notability but I never tried Goodnotes, maybe Sooner or later I’ll buy it! I don’t know if I wold be able to spend 2-3 hours at home doing that because I hope to get into Medicine and here in Italy there are classes al day 😂 however thank you so much, looking foreward to your next video 💓

[@bloxygigi7736]

do you get the slides sent before or after the respective lecture?

[@doc505snobody2]

I wish I could do that on an iPad during my med school days

[@dhruuvagarwal2949]

Thank You for the video. One doubt before buying this iPad, is the 32 gig on the base model enough for note taking??

[@JaniceStudies]

It is enough for me because I already have a Macbook to carry my pdf textbooks and whatnot. I offload applications that I don't use which saves more memory as well. I'm not even close to using half of the storage and I have been using the iPad since the beginning of this semester!

[@beadavid8291]

Gonna get my ipad pro 12.9 in september, Was wondering if do i have to download goodnotes app? Or is it already installed in the ipad? And what other apps would you recommend for note-taking? Am a very forgetful person, so i need it for my college class so i can remember it. 😅

[@JaniceStudies]

Yes, it is an app that you can purchase in the app store! I personally only use Goodnotes for note-taking!

[@wupsje1]

Hey there! How do you orginise your notebooks? One per class? Or per week? Per subject? Could you make a video about this too? Perhaps also if you have one (or several) notebooks specifically for planning your exams or projects? Thanks in advance :) I subscribed and am looking forward to more videos!

[@JaniceStudies]

I will make a video regarding how I organize schoolwork on my iPad! :)

[@omark.8509]

Is there a specific reason you use Goodnotes, over the mainstream app, Notability? Great videos btw, I recently came across your channel - keep up the good work!

[@JaniceStudies]

I personally find that I enjoy the writing experience on Goodnotes more; I write more smoothly and neatly compared to Notability. I also like having a wider variety of colours to choose from with the pen and highlighter, which is limited in Notability. Also, for choosing the brush sizes, Goodnotes allows you to pretty much set any size you want with the sliding tool which Notability doesn't have. So Goodnotes is definitely a winner!

[@CatheLov3]

Do you read the textbooks? If so, how do you organize your notes?

[@luciathefemininewoman]

Catherine Tran I think she does it the same way depending if it’s an online textbook or physical textbook. The most efficient way to get the most out of your textbook reading assignments is read backwards, so read the summary, sample question, look for key concepts, key words, and whatever you find when you read backwards. Some might not have sample questions or a summary. Also the introduction should come last when you read backwards, and find an outline of the chapters you’ll be doing and write an outline like checklist. That will allow you to keep track of your reading assignments and focus you’ve already learned. Previewing, reading the chapters, using active reading strategies or take notes separately on a piece of paper to organize your notes for the chapter. Also make sure to find ways to review your notes. Because sometimes reading notes is not enough to retain information. So depending on the class you might wanna go over things you don’t understand versus you understand. It’s like you want to forget what you know so your can focus what you don’t know. Especially checking for your understanding is important.

[@luciathefemininewoman]

Catherine Tran Since Janice didn’t reply to you. She already mentions she uses Google Drive to store away and organize her notes. I mean she takes her notes on her iPad. And she uses her external hard drive for storing away online textbooks, so she can utilize them for studying, and taking notes.

[@syahirahhusna6060]

may i know how much storage you use for your ipad?can you recommend the best storege for students?

[@luciathefemininewoman]

Syahirah Husna Didn’t she mention in one of her videos about the amount of storage of her iPad? It’s 32 GB since she doesn’t download as much apps, but for academic usage she uses Google Drive for storing everything related to her academics.

[@max_fns1336]

What's that grey grip your'e using on your apple pencil and can you recommend it?

[@JaniceStudies]

It's by Zover on Amazon. Gives the Pencil a nicer grip and makes my hand more steady and comfortable when writing :)

[@max_fns1336]

Great! Thanks for replying. I'm gonna check this out asap!:) Have a great day :)

[@luciathefemininewoman]

I actually found out something that could be helpful for taking notes or anything that you’re missing. After annotating or taking notes on the powerpoints. Turn the PowerPoint either on slides or Microsoft PowerPoint, and go to layout, and find outline. When you do that should allow you to pay attention to what you must include in your notes, and when you have all that down. Then write your notes in your own words. I should’ve done this for the reviewing. I was confused how you review your notes. Because I did many research and found out that reading, highlighting, and summarizing is not enough to remember information for a long time. So probably the way how you did is the old video you did on flash cards, yet it’s in your way of studying which got you high 90’s and A+. So I assume that’s how you reviewed your notes.

[@earmaarina7356]

May i know how you import powerpoint slide to goodnotes? 😊

[@Sup_keke]

Download the PowerPoint and when doing that it should give you the option on where you would like the file to go, you should get an option for GoodNotes and then click on that and the slides will open up in GoodNotes

how do we get several slides on the same page?

Hi :) how do you show your goodnotes notes on your laptop? Do you use their App or do you export all your notes as pdfs?

[@mk.xo29]

she saves her goodnotes on her google drive and then opens them up on her laptop, exporting as pdfs would take up a lot of space really fast

How do you group these powerpoints on a page?

[@Ryan78336]

Is there a way you can import lecture slides from online into GoodNotes? Just so it’s all in the one place.?

[@erikagonzalez2433]

The easiest way I have found to do this on GoodNotes is to create a PDF file of your PowerPoint through a laptop. Click on File->Export->Create PDF->Options. Then change Publish Options to Handouts and you can choose how many slides you want per page. At the end make sure you “Publish” to google drive or whichever drive you use. Then you can import your pdf file on GoodNotes. Not sure if this works on Notability. Seems like a lot but it’s pretty quick. Hope this helps!

[@aligh3952]

I have an important question, Isn’t studying on iPad generally tired, especially for the eyes, compared to the normal study (from papers)? Because I will buy iPad for studying but I'm afraid of this point

[@cloudfan1010102]

You can print them out and store them in an arc discbound notebook! :) KZbinr September Studies has a video on this and it looks really nice! Its perfect if u know that staring at a screen will give you headaches or eye strain
