Describe the three note-taking methods discussed in the video.

Outline method: using bullet points and indentations to organize main points and details. Cornell method: dividing paper into Cue, Notes, and Summary columns for structured note-taking and review. Mind-Mapping method: visually representing relationships between concepts in a diagram.

According to the video, what are some of the benefits of using paper for note-taking compared to using a computer?

Paper limits syntax focus due to slower writing speed, requires less self-control (less distraction from other apps/websites), and avoids verbatim transcription.
