My Step daughter who is studying psychology at  Sheffield Uni, has given me some advice about note taking, and suggested that I use my Mac to take the notes. Up till now I have been doing this long hand.

I'm going to give it a go, Have grabbed a copy of "My Thoughts" which looks to be a good mind mapping software tool for the Mac. And will try and use that and Pages to make my notes for the next part of the course to see how that pans out.
