question

Question for the sciency people--or the people who take their science classes seriously.

There is this thing? Where people taking notes use *multiple colored pens* to do their notes. I'd noticed it before in class when I was younger and did not care and had no study method. I now have a study method--or building one, anyway.

Why is that? What's the pattern on it? As it seems to work, or so a million science students seem to think.

I used to do it for chemistry equations and drawings to signify the different bonds. Field drawings and other basic physics stuff practically requires multiple colors on the page, just to signify what's going where and what the value is. It's also crazy helpful in terms of highlighting new terms and definitions in your notes, as well as important equations, and practice problems the instructor says might be on the test.

Wow. I didn't realize before just how much of a dork I was in college.
