For my first post, I’m wondering if I have enough followers to ask for advice… I’m starting a masters degree soon which weirdly I may finish when I turn 50 (my 20yo self would not believe I’d leave it this late!). When I last did an essay in 1997, I used a sheet of paper for each point I wanted to cover then added the supporting evidence to each sheet as I did my reading. Surely there is some tech now that will help? Can anyone recommend what I should use?
@3c04c07f having just finished my MSc, I'm very happy to chat about this! Zotero was amazing for tracking references. It integrates with Google Docs (and others) very well. I wrote this about using bullet points to help write an essay - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/01/an-algorithm-to-write-an-assignment/ Which is pretty similar to your paper-based approach. Good luck with your studies. Drop me a line if you want to chat about it.
