Nice, a 12:30 am discussion

I personally would say type, but some people are kinetic learners, so physically writing out each word or hand drawing a diagram helps them remember and might help understand a concept better. But yeah im all for word processed notes! (OneNote is a gem for collating notes btw)

i guess typing is a LOT faster but... its hard to get the information to stick for me ;/
i guess its only me? ;(

Imo writing, sticks in my head unlike reading and typing notes on a computer (Y)

Get a small notebook. Write syllabus dot points and write the information below them. Best way for me at least. Never the less the best way to study, is through practicality.

you are going to be writing your final exams so it makes sense to write your notes...

 

[MrBrightside]

Both. Write everything for English and maths. Everything else type up notes. Then print them. Read and highlight em. Then just write out heaps of past papers to practice your knowledge and writing speed. Your writing speed should be sufficient if your always writing out English essays.

type : faster, efficient when you want to change something.
----cons : waste a lot of ink / paper.

Also quicker when you want to find something you need to study, E.g. just Ctrl - F and type whatever you're looking for.

Personally, I prefer to type and then print and highlight. That's just preference. As for essays, I'll do a draft on the computer, but always write it out to make sure I can write it in the required time (as in my creative writing for example, I can write more in 40 minutes than an essay)

I definitely prefer to write, cause I don't always have a computer with me and when I do, I'm too easy distracted lols

completely agree. for the assessments i just memorised them by rote, but exams are a different situation

I write. So much more easier to memorise when you have written them yourself.
I don't think it's very time consuming tbh. It took me in total ~6 hours to do one bio topic.
However, it's very hard to change and stuff when you write and it can get messy some time.
But yeh, I would rather write than type even if i dont have much time.

Writing notes out seems to be best for me also, in uni now. I find that the ability to write out the words and articulate your own knowledge in the form of diagrams and images helps the information stick.

 

[krnofdrg]

In my opinion i'd prefer typing.... Because my writing is messy and i tend remember my notes much more clearly if its typed.

Writing - gives you all the freedom you might need in structuring the content. Typing seems less flexible.
