Title

MentisCell – Note-Taking from School to Graduation

Content

In early education and undergraduate studies, note-taking revolves around memorizing content curated by instructors and textbooks. Professors often position themselves as authorities within a structured curriculum, and expectations center around retention, clarity, and reproduction.

Organizational Framework

• Folder structure:
  • Studies (root folder)
  • Studies/Year/Discipline (e.g., Studies/2024/Sciences)
  • Studies/2024/Sciences/2024-09-17 - Introduction (individual notes)
  • Auxiliary notes for exercises, e.g., 2024-09-17 - Book 2 exercises

Metadata Suggestions

Each note may include:

• Class date
• Course code or name
• Instructor name
• Exam schedule
• Supplemental references or materials

Methodological Considerations

At this stage:

• Methods like Zettelkästen may not add immediate value but can be explored via separate notes.
• Self-testing and resurfacing methods may enhance retention.
• All materials should be embedded or attached in notes to preserve coherence.
• Emphasis is on understanding key concepts and sequence over synthesis or critique.
