Correlation between the quality of handwriting and (pre-)clinical work?

Just wondering does one's sloopy handwriting in their notebook directly correlate to the quality of work a dental student does in pre-clinical?

Meaning...

Does someone who takes super straight and neat noties usually do better in pre-clinic than someone who takes lazy sloppy notes?

I often take sloopy noties but plan to do great in pre-clinic!! 😛

Same here. When I'm writing notes fast they're close to illegible, but I plan on doing well in pre-clinic (of course planning and actually doing well is yet to be known).

And what about that old thing that all doctors have crappy handwriting anyway? 🙄

Go sloopy noties.

It doesnt matter as long as you can read your own notes...

Anectodally, I had the super-neat super-attentive notes in dental school, and my pre-clinic work was probably average-ish. Two of my guy friends had beautiful pre-clinical work. One was artistic and good at drawing so his notes were full of random drawings and sketches from whenever he would stop paying attention in class, which was often. The other one had messy notes if he could even remember to come to class and take notes in the first place. One guy in our class was a lab tech for almost 20 years and had great pre-clinic work. His notes were atrocious as well combined with the fact that English was not his first language.

No.
