Writing, planning, and organizing: Notion

The amount and different types of materials that accumulate during semesters can be overwhelming. Notion, by providing various tools and templates, represents a valuable aid in creating and organizing university materials. With this software, you can take notes optimally and gather your resources in one place according to your needs.

Notion allows you to create a multi-level content system: each element can become a page, and each page can contain others. This makes categorizing handouts, notes, and maps extremely easy and fully customizable. Its versatility lies in the ability to arrange your documents in the way you prefer. For example, we suggest using the table function to organize individual subjects and their materials based on semesters or exam sessions.
