Title: Handwritten or typed notes?
Post by: vashappenin on April 01, 2012, 08:00:54 pm: Hey,
I really want to perfect my psych 3/4 this year. Which is better for psych? Writing or typing?
Please let me know :):)

Really is good if you have an iPad or some kind of tablet.

The more you write, the more you will remember and get used to it :)

Post by: monkeywantsabanana on April 13, 2012, 10:57:43 am: I wrote mine for Unit 3 and typed them up for Unit 4. With writing, it's much easier to add information when you learn something new. I found it much easier to add little details to case studies or redefining definitions having typed it up. But then again, I do agree with the posts above. It does sink in profoundly when you do write it out :)
