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

Yep, same here. Then again, I hadn't taken a math class for a few years before I graduated, so it was mostly pen for everything. I did use pencil in my science labs, though.

why the hell do people keep putting "results" as a poll option. you do realize that there is a view results button prior to voting.

it does look messier to myself... some kinda psychological effect. i guess because black doesn't look "pretty", combned wtih my messy wirting it's ugly.

I never use it so I prefer it when other people put "results" as an option as well. It's not like it hurts.

Those were my reasons exactly. I was pretty anal about only using a blue fine point Parker pen too so I could write smaller (which makes my handwriting neater, more legible, and use less paper).

Added a 4th poll. This one's actually more important than the others because binders are the one thing I didn't buy (they're expensive!).

Notebook, but non-spiral...3-ring binder, one thin one per class, and I might take notes on 3-hole-punched paper that's kept in the binder, thus allowing easy removal and addition. Pencil for notes, drafting pencil for clear and neat writing.

When I did take notes, they were damn neat and good

Spiral notebook with blue pen... pencil for math classes.

I used to do the pad paper and then put the notes into the proper binders at home, but I got lazy with that. 3-ring binders are way too big to lug around. The spiral does me well.

Eh, damn. Voted loose paper instead of notebook. I was confused and thought you meant laptop, whatever.

But I prefer a spiral notebook, like the mead 5 section ones. That way I can put everything for all my classes into one book and not worry about it. Oh, and I prefer pen in every class but math.

Edit: black pen. I'm not a big fan of blue pens, even though I use them a lot at work.

I got a new poll. When you wipe your butt, do you wipe up or down?

I just don't understand any kind of gain besides post count anyone could recieve from this thread.

I use a notebook with pencil. I only use a 3-ring binder if there are PowerPoint slides for the class.
