Lectures on iPad, Homework on Paper: Merge Everything in a WriteScan Markdown Summary

Why You Need a Common Summary

• iPad and paper notes split study material into two silos.
• Exam prep turns into hunting across apps and binders.
• WriteScan collects both and lets you write a “final version” summary every weekend.

Weekday Routine

1. During class: Note in iPad, flag important pages (bookmark/highlight).
2. Homework on paper: Scan results into WriteScan the same day, tag #homework plus subject tags.
3. Capture questions: Add comments in WriteScan so you remember to discuss them in the next lecture.

Weekend Markdown Merge

1. Export key iPad pages as PNG and import into WriteScan with #iPad-note.
2. Polish paper-note OCR: Clean headings, formulas, and mistakes to fix.
3. Create a weekly summary note: Combine lecture highlights, homework solutions, and “next steps” in Markdown. Tag it #weekly-summary.

After the Merge

• Paste the summary into Notion/Obsidian for your study tracker.
• Return to the original iPad or paper pages anytime from WriteScan’s links.
• Ahead of exams, export the summaries as PDFs for quick review.

Weekly Checklist

• □ Export iPad pages → Import to WriteScan
• □ Clean OCR for paper notes
• □ Add understanding level / questions / next review date to the summary
• □ Archive old summaries with #archive when topics close
