Im doing docotrate in education (Ed.D) and needed an Ipad, in addition to my Macbook, to read academic papers and to edit dissertation pages. I also bought an apple pencil, which is super useful. Your the fifth docotral student I've come across in these youtube streets with the info I need to load up my ipad. Thanks and good luck to you. Get it done.

I loved this video!! I was following you on instagram but not in KZread, and I found that this video is so life saving for me! I have an ipad for my PhD too (I’m in my 3rd year) and I would love to use it more. In fact I was mostly using it for reading papers and taking notes on random days when I feel inspired, let’s see I can turn it into a habit, because my brain definitely works better when I write. Another thing I found super useful about Goodnotes is that when I need to add a quick drawing or scheme in a Powerpoint, let’s say something informal to explain something to my advisor for instance, I can draw pretty fancy things in Goodnotes and directly select them and paste them in PowerPoint (because I have a Mac), but you can also save it as a screenshot if you dont have a connected mac. This might be helpful for anyone! Anyway, keep up the great work! I really like your videos and your instagram stories and posts, thanks a lot ❤️

Aha I have converted you from IG 😉 Yes. I love that feature of the iPad as well it's so handy to have stuff synched up on the same devices with air drop and that!

I love the hashtag suggestion. I didn't know it was possible to use that search button. I got the iPad pro last year for the same reason you did and so far so good!

Yea it's a life saver to be able to search through your notes for something you've left in a random notebooK!

I’m a math student and I got an iPad during my senior year of undergrad and it helped so much! I’ve been using it for like 3 years now and recommend a tablet of some form to everyone. Personally, I prefer notability but I know lots of people who swear by goodnotes. You Can’t go wrong either way.

Yea I haven't tried notability myself but I suppose once there's one that works for you that's the main thing. I wish I had this during my maths undergrad 😢

I have a question. Can you search for words that you've highlighted in a PDF?

Thank you for the nice review, where do you usually save files? I struggle with which app to use, sometimes when I export files I can’t reach eg dropbox

Hey dear, thank you for your practical information on iPad usage. It was really informative. Are you from Canada or Minnesota or something? More of importantly good luck with your PhD program!

Hi, Is your ipad, is cellular version or only wifi version? also what is the space (in terms of GBs in ipad) requirement for phds?

Thanks for this! Contemplating to purchase an Ipad to read and annotate. I started my PhD in the time when (almost ;)) everything was on paper (I started in 2011), but I would love to change to paperless now as an academic. Just wondering whether the 10.2 inch is big enough for reading and note-taking at the same time, which is why I'm looking into the 11 inch Ipad pro (2018 version so it't not that expensive). Any thoughts? Do you have to adjust the pdf file a lot on the screen when note-taking?

Thank you Now I realized why few of my Chinese classmates and friends are using iPad here in China. In my personal case, most of the time I do research in Lab through my desktop double screen of course, and work a bit in my laptop at home. So I didn't feel need for using and iPad. Anyway I would like to trywhen I get chance.

But don't you think paperlike damages the pen nib more quickly?

I haven't noticed that personally, i've never had to change the nib of my apple pen and I've had it a few years. I don't use it every day of course but definitely haven't noticed damage.
