My name is Aldrich! I'm a final year engineering student at the University of Sheffield and in this video I talk about how I take notes on the iPad in lectures. I understand this is a long video, which is why I'm encouraging you to use the timestamps below. Feel free to skip around the video (or watch the whole thing if you want) and watch the areas of that find most useful to you.

I have a refurbished iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3rd generation with 256GB storage and apple pencil. I don't just use the iPad for note-taking, I use it for other things like making these videos on YouTube, and photo editing. I also use the iPad for more chill things like watching Netflix or Disney+, or playing among us on a bigger screen.

I hope this in-depth review of the iPad was useful for engineering students (and students in general) and that it helps you decide whether or not you should make the purchase based on your own situation. I also hope that it was useful to me to reveal how I process lecture myself, and give you an idea of how you could use tablets for your own learning.

If I missed anything out on the video, or I didn't go in more detail in some areas, then let me know in the comments section and I'll answer your questions like that! If you don't want to comment, you could DM on instagram for more privacy if you want (@aldrados__).

Happy New Year! I know you will achieve your 2021 goals. See you in my next video next monday!😉
