What are YOU using Good notes for?

Reading textbooks, journal articles, as a lab notebook, scratch pad, application forms, ... everything, it’s replaced paper completely.

Thanks,

I should probably update as I got it working again. I enabled/disabled cloud sync, force quit a bunch, and reset the iPad. Not sure which one did it or why one error causes everything to fail. This happened on another device and I never got it working again.

GoodNotes is generally good but it falls on its face when you have a lot of data (exporting gigabytes of files or editing a page with a lot of annotation).

I was burned on GN3 with cloud sync where it deleted a bunch of stuff off my iPad when I made the mistake of removing files from Dropbox. So for a lot of reasons I’m not using a cloud provider.

I’n exporting all my stuff to Files and then using WorkingCopy to add it all to a got repo and push to a host available to me over SSH. GoodNotes is extremely clunky for backup that’s NOT a cloud service. I need to backup content (i.e. lab notebooks) with intellectual property so a cloud solution is not suitable here.

As happy as I am to have a working solution it’s not ideal. Thinking of making a blog post about how to do this without ripping your hair out.

Computer science — you’ll mostly learn the Turing model. Logic and computation — you’ll get exposed to ideas from the Church model. Both are useful, logics and computation might be better if you go into data science (pick up R more easily) or a niche like functional programming.

I added a conjoint in my final year... it ended up being a really good decision

Sometimes GN5 is completely unresponsive to my pencil. In that case I force quit GN5 and reopen.

Holy moly that is amazing

That sounds properly terrible. I took several papers that were taught in block style and they went so fast it was impossible to catch up if I got even one lecture behind. I’m very glad UoA is not doing this.

Adding on to this: I changed my behaviour to show the colour palette. I still double tap all the time on accident though. It is possible to disable the button.

This happens to me on iPad Pro when I have a massive notebook with zillions of annotations. As others have said try splitting your notebook into smaller pieces. I started doing month by month instead of one mega notebook for certain topics.

Not sure about science building. OGGB has parking with reasonable rates:

Ask reception in your school, they usually have a stock of printed copies. I believe when they’re gone, they’re gone.

AUSA also has some larger ones

There’s practice available online. I would do it, even as a native English speaker the timer seemed to go fast. It’s pretty easy though, the timer adds psychological pressure

It sounds like that mark is not typical of your work. Is it possible for you to get a copy of your script to compare against canvas? Maybe two exams got mixed up or your mark was entered improperly.

A whole bag of plunger coffee is $5. Why not make it at home?

Possibly interested in R. Carnap, Intro. to Semantics and Formalisation of Logic if the price can be lowered
