Uni-Ball Signo 0.2mm on an Ampad 22-157. The 0.2mm gel is the only pen that I've found that works with my southpaw microscopic lettering.

And a LPT for young engineers: Get in the habit early on of keeping engineering/laboratory/patent notebooks.
Hi. For math/physics, I used a computation notebook.

I really liked it.
I'm measuring 6.2mm (it's a 22-157 notebook, so a nominal 1/4"?)
I'm not at work, so I can't tell you which exactly, but it's a computation book. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Ampad-Computation-Ruled-Sheets-22-157/dp/B000DZEA2G
As an engineering grad (well, over 30 years ago) I've been using these for a couple decades: Ampad 22-157
Production of these moved a few (?10) years ago, and the paper is not as heavy as 'in the old days', but I keep a stash for other engineers who realize I'm not all crazy.
We had Ampad in school - buy it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Ampad-Engineers-Computation-Wirebound-22-157/dp/B000DZEA2G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346803182&sr=8-1&keywords=ampad+engineering+notebook
One of my favorite lab notebooks: https://www.amazon.com/Ampad-Computation-Ruled-Sheets-22-157/dp/B000DZEA2G/ref=sr_1_26?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1504571843&sr=1-26&keywords=ampad+gold+fibre
When I was in industry, they used these: https://www.eurekalabbook.com/products/green-quad-standard-lab-notebook
Here's how I study:
First I need an actual study place. I'm lucky to have an office. It's just a second bedroom but it's my own space. I spent a few bucks to spring for a comfy chair. I went to office max and sat in every display chair they had and compared prices and picked the one that was most comfortable that was within a reasonable price. Having the chair makes me feel more obligated to use that space instead of trying to do HW in front of the tv. Don't ever do homework in front of the TV if you need to learn what you are working on. Same goes for listening to music. Don't put on your favorite band. If you like playing music. Pick something without words. I personally like listening to chill beats when I'm studying. I'm not distracted but I don't feel uncomfortable either like I am in a hospital or something. Having a separate comfortable space really does matter a lot.
I am also super particular about what I write in. I don't have any lined paper. I have one notebook and it is a Spiralbound Ampad Gold Fibre Computation Book. It makes soooooooo much god damn difference. I normally would never be able to keep detailed notes like this because my handwriting is horrible and I'm too lazy to organize it. However having a nice notebook makes me want to keep nice notes. I know my notes aren't like a work of art but they are miles ahead of what they looked like last year.
You might also notice that I took those notes in pen. I only use pilot g2 black ink retractable pens. They are cheap, reliable, and writing with them is less physically exhausting then writing in pencil. A $12 pack of these pens is what I asked for at Christmas. Because it makes a real difference.
So I have my office, my chair, my notebook, my pens and it feels good to have those things that I all carefully picked out so it feels good to study and take notes.
My actual method of studying is to take notes in my office while I read the chapters. I don't take notes in class during the lecture. I don't know how anybody can listen and write and learn at the same time. So I use the Cornell method. Then I do all the homework off these notes. And when I take an exam I write the important formulas over and over for about 30 minutes before each test.
