notebook of course, loose paper gets way too hard to manage with lost pages and what not. Having a tablet pc woud be the ideal situation :)

I've always taken notes on loose paper, even in highschool, just a habit I guess.

I preferred not taking notes at all and borrowing notes from 2 or 3 smart people to fill in all the gaps before a test and photocopying them.

In other news, I got $6.50 worth of mechanical pencils for $3 today, due to an incorrect label. Yay!

loose leaf cuz it's easier to reorganize
pen because pencil is harder to read and smudges
blue because my writing looks messier in black

Notebook and I switch pen colors instead of dating my notes.(Red, Black, Green and Blue) Sure, I could date them, but whatever ;)

Spiral notebook for each class (as well as a folder for loose papers) and a black pen. I tend to take notes in a math class with a pencil, though. I guess that's just the habit of using a pencil for math homework rather than a pen.

Same here, especially when i make mistakes or whhen the teacher makes a mistake while writing down things, its convenient to be able to erase
