Hello,
This is a bit of an odd topic but I thought maybe some of you would have some input. Ever since I could remember my hand written notes has affected my learning significantly in a bad way. My hand writing isn’t horrible but it isn’t neat, every time I try and take notes in lecture or even at home, it takes hours for a few pages or I just end up giving up because I get frustrusted. My problem is, is that I always start over if it starts getting too ugly which is 100% if the time.
My questions are, 1) Do you use hand written notes or types notes, and what are the benefits or complications with your method. And also, 2) Do types notes still provide good learning measures? I know many study’s that state hand written notes prove to be better for memorization.. but in my case, if I type all my notes do you think I’ll be able to still recall information even though I’m not writing?
Anyway, just wanted some input since I’m very tempted to switch to typing. I’d appreciate all input!
