In the previous post we discussed both the good and bad aspects of handwriting notes. Now let us look at the benefits and disadvantages of typing out notes. First of all they allow you to keep organized notes. Typing notes provides many options, users can type in outline format, bullet points, simple paragraphs or however else they want to organize their notes. However, it is more difficult to draw a graph on a computer than to draw one on paper. Another bonus of typed notes is that it is easy to go back through a lecture. The highlighting tools that word provides also adds organizational benefits.
I asked another group of friends how they felt about typed notes. Again the answers were fairly similar. One person responded that he prefers typing his notes with an exception of his economics class. He explained that while it is possible to create graphs on the computer, it was more efficient to draw them by hand. A different person remarked that while she prefers typed notes, she does not like carrying her laptop all around campus. Another student responded that her professor speaks so quickly that when she tries to hand write notes, her handwriting is illegible, so, as a result, she always types her notes.
