I don’t see many undergraduates on this list, but hey, you never know. If so, here’s an article about what does and doesn’t work about taking notes for classes.

Wish it had something to do with outliners though!

Note talking is a very common topic in this forum, isn’t it, and a very common reason to use outliners?

Outlining is a subset of Note Taking. With a few modifications I use, the classic Cornell Method of note taking can be even more useful.

Cornell method over here, too. In GoodNotes and other software I used my own custom Cornell-Note templates by default, for each note page.
