I read an article online a while back about the difference between hand written notes and notes that were typed out on the lap top. Research has shown that those students who hand write their notes in school will learn more than those who don’t.
This study also shows that the students who types them out takes more notes than the hand writers, the typer’s will type out word for word, while the hand writer’s will write out summaries of what they are being told. Speaking from experience I know that handwriting notes is a pain in the butt, but it’s the way I always did it and still do it.
I can remember being given print outs of notes from the teacher and I would still hand write them into my notebook so as to remember them. I have found that if I hand write notes then I learn and memorize everything faster. In high school at test time, I always wrote my notes out 3x’s.
The first draft was in blue ink, second was in red and the 3rd was done in black. Doing this helped me to remember what I was studying and though it took hours to do, I had good grades in high school!
