Will I be taking a lot of notes in AP Human Geography freshman year in high school?

Question

I would like to know how thick a notebook I should get, and if I can fill it?

Answer 1

It's really going to depend on your teacher and class. In my class, we took notes daily but they weren't very long and I used a really thin 1 subject notebook with only 70 sheets of paper in it, but I still had a little bit of room left at the end of the school year.

Maybe if you know anyone at the school you'll be attending who took the class, you can ask them.

Answer 2

I took AP Human Geography several years ago, it's a hard, but interesting, class. We didn't take notes every class, but when we did we took a lot of them, sometimes over 5 pages. You'll need a thick notebook for this class and you will fill all of it. Your studying for your exams will be coming mostly from your notes and your book so make sure you're notes are thorough. Best of luck.

Hi!

You're lucky that your school lets freshmen take AP classes. I know many schools where I live doesn't offer these opportunities.

What I DO know is that I recommend the Mead Five Star Flex Notebinder. It's a notebook and a binder--combined! But watch out for the cost--it could be pricey. What is so excellent about it is that you can put papers in and out, it's flexible, and you can customize it! (You can go to http://www.meadonline.com/fivestar/home.... for more information.)

It's okay if you fill up a whole notebook before the year ends. Just write in another book, but remember to look back at the previous one! If you think you will be taking a lot of notes, then you should get a 2 subject notebook. Just think of it as this way: if you took a lot of notes in your previous school year, you might want to stock up on more notebooks.

If nothing works out, you can use a binder. It's your choice, and it's personal. I personally don't recommend the binder because it can rip or break easily and it's bulky. You would probably want something lightweight to carry to your classes.

I hoped I helped and good luck!
