A couple suggestions from someone who has used TW for class and project note taking:
1. Keep it simple - don't spend so much time tweaking TW with plugins and making your note taking tool super powerful that you lose sight of the primary goal of taking class notes. I have found tweaking TW can be quite a (pleasurable) time sink and I have more than once taken my eye off the reason I was using TW in the first place. Be wary of falling into that trap. 2. Backup, backup, backup - you don't want to find at exam time that something you changed mid semester corrupted content in some way. FWIW I evolved over a dozen+ years from TWC to now using the TiddlyServer / separate external tid files maintained in multiple Git repos approach, with a minimum of plugins. That might not be an approach for someone just starting.
