How is your note taking/homework system organized?

I'm curently in high school taking 4 subjects [england]

anyway, just thought it'd be interesting/usefull to see what other people do.

For each class, i have a seperate notebook for each seperate teacher [they tend to do different topics]. I just get the notes down in these some example questions. So thats fairly straight forward.
But for Questions set in the lesson, or homeworks, we do the work on A4 file paper. Regualary the teacher will take questions in for marking, but alot of things are not marked. Up until now, at the end of each week, i've filed away all my A4 sheets into ring binder folders, divided up again into each seperate subject. But now i'm thinking "over the year this is gonna just pile up and by the time i do exams in may it's just gonna be garbage". So now i'm thinking that maybe i should just throw away alot of the random sheets of work i've done, and ONLY file away the neat homeworks that i've done that has been marked/graded by the teacher. The reason is i just think that by the time exams come, to study i will just read my notebook, read the text books, and redo text book questions, rather then just "looking over" past work that i won't even remember if i got correct [cause its ungraded]. i will also file away question sheets that the teachers themselves set to do again when exams come, rather then only doing text book questions. what does everyone else do?
i forgot to say that i'm very messy in my work [when doing homeworks i tend to do a rough version then a neat version to hand in]

should just add that i take : AS level Physics, Math, Further Math, Chemistry
 
1 notebook for when i take notes and folder for handouts per class

i dont have any HW im in college
 
Mine isn't, except in Comp Sci. I vaguely have a notebook per class, but it makes no sense organizationally, and if I take notes at all, it goes on a random sheet of paper. Comp Sci is paperless, and organized in a nice, pretty little directory structure on the desktop of my lab login.
 
I bought a filing cabinet for school. I drag it to every class and it allows the most superb organization! I have all my homework filed by class and by date. I also rent out drawers in my filing cabinet to other students.. great source of income.

I take notes if I know I won't be able to remember what's going on in class, or in a class where the teacher's words don't help me. I can generally memorize what they say, if it's helpful I don't need notes. Homework? Do it at most 8 hours before it's due.
 
I have a five subject spiral that has folders to store my syllabi and handouts. My school is moving paperless though, most of our assignments are typed and uploaded, and our materials are downloaded (powerpoints, handouts, etc..). So normally I just carry my laptop to class with me and store everything by class and then by semester. It helps having ethernet jacks and wireless access, too.
 
I just write on pieces of notebook paper and then never read the notes I take.

I use one big Mead Five Star five subject notebook and keep the handouts etc inside the folders that seperate the different subjects.
 
not at all.

I have a few notebooks, usually use one for every two classes. The covers generally are gone in the first week of school, so they become spiral-bound looseleaf, which then becomes really torn up as the year progresses.

For keeping papers, etc, i stick them between papers in my textbooks, which are generally less than 8.5"x11", so the edges wind up getting all fubared. For remembering homework, I generally take all my stuff home every day and then go by memory, or whats scribbled in my notebooks or textbooks.
