how many of you study from your smartphone? (lemmy.ml)

I'm old fashioned and learn the old way: you print what you need to study, get a pen and a highlighter, have a seat next to a table and get to it.

My current position offers me ample downtime but I'm not allowed to carry a portfolio with my study materials around and I don't like folding my A size papers (ANSI standard) because I end up ruining them that way.

A smartphone's screen is not very big and highlighting text with it is a nightmare. This is medicine I'm studying, meaning lots of graphics to locate veins, nerves...

I don't find it practical but maybe you do? If so, any tips?

I could create an epub or pdf file from the materials and use LibreraFD to access them. I don't know.

I have not studied in some time but may have to coming up. I do believe the best way to study is to hand write notes and rewrite them in iterations with other sources. so write in classe, listen to recording in dorm and rewrite. Pausing and rewinding as need to get what you want down, read text book chapter and rewrite as you do that. Its incredibly time consuming but effective. Given that I have not done anything close since college and did not even do it to that level at college. One and maybe two rewrites at most. Now I will likely just use a laptop and I might make and rewrite notes in a way I did for test prep which is more like consolidation. Bringing it down more and more to the key parts.
