do you type or handwrite your notes

yea im just wondering, in general (for uni and vce) do you handwrite or type out your notes and all of that.
I always used to type but whenever I'm on a computer I get massively distracted so I'm making the switch to handwriting, it'll probably take longer/be more annoying but I waste too much time on computers

write normally. i remember more if i physically write it out.

But sometimes i type it up if it gets too messy and unreadable.

Handwrite:
-my handwriting is hideous and I need to practise more
-I have to think about what i'm writing so information sinks in

handwrite

writing is quicker, though messy. notes are useless to keep, its only used to organise the information in your mind. i usually just chuck them away 

plus you are going to write in exams, why not make writing a habit

and i find it a bit inconvenient to bring a laptop to lectures since you hav to open it up and sometimes it run out of power, its also heavier than a little lecture note-book, so handwriting is preferred to typing
well the limit can turn into a threshold..

Typing.  It makes it easier to back your notes up, and also makes them easier to read.  If you need them conveniently, just print.  =)

I always handwrite, even though it's probably slower, because I can put things wherever I want on the page!
It's hard to do 'what you want' when typing I reckon
