Hand-Written Notes vs Typed Notes

(1/3) > >>

KhmerBoyZ:
Hey AN community!

I just wanted to know what your preferences are when it comes to note taking. Do you prefer to hand write them or type them? Why?

Aaron:
Typed. Anytime anywhere access incase I lose my book... which is very common these days. Save them to a cloud storage service e.g. Google Drive and you can access them on any device too. Probably wouldn't be as effective as a school student since tech is limited, but defs from a uni and work perspective... typed is great.

Questions such as these are personal preferences..... everybody here may say handwritten is better, but you may absolutely hate handwriting notes. Try both, see which fits you more. We are all different.

Mine actually changed at university! In the HSC I preferred typing, because it seemed more organised and easier to absorb later. At university though, things got way more mathematical for me and typing out notes for those sorts of things is a paaaain. So I swapped to handwritten - But I do it on my iPad Pro and back the PDF's up to the cloud. Best of both worlds ;D

Jimmmy:
Throughout my schooling, all my STEM subject notes have always been handwritten, whilst my English/Humanities notes were roughly taken by hand and transferred onto my technological device of choice afterwards.

I still consistently hear that writing out notes helps you learn them better, so on that marker my Methods score is sure to beat my other ones.   ;)

Handwriting for sure, comes in handy for STEM subjects where it's difficult to draw diagrams online and also improves your handwriting speed in preparation for exams. But for writing summary notes after class, I prefer typing because it's quicker (ONLY for content heavy subjects) and it means that I have more time to do past papers, flashcards etc
