4 One of its amazing fractures is the non-limited pages. you can write and draw everywhere and the page will expand automatically. The reason why I am crazy about this feature is that I like to make map charts notes, so having this option allows me to add more information whenever I want during the semester.

5 create a quiz about your lectures by Microsoft Form. OneNote allows inserting the quizzes that you make by Microsoft Form. I like this feature especially for the theoretical lectures that contain much information to be memorized.

6 Under “Insert” you will find many helpful tools and one theme is the stickers. I know it’s not the most important thing to use, but it makes studying and note-taking more fun!

OneNote’s advantages are not just limited to what I mentioned. There are many more amazing things here, but I just want to focus on what makes it different from other digital note-taking programs.

This is the end.
