I suck at studying so my best study method was simply going to class and paying attention. I liked to use notebooks in combination with cards. The course outline or weekly reading should tell you the subject of the lecture. I write on the cards and use a separate card for each subject covered in the lecture. This can get tricky but you can train yourself to do this. This is really good for profs who jump around and disgress often. I then paste the cards into order into my notebook (the cards therefore shouldn't be of heavy stock and a coiled bound notebook is best). This makes studying enormously better as well.

As for now, I would just use my iPad. A Kindle Fire is probably a good option for the budget conscious as you could carry your textbooks with you at the same time.
