Writing vs. Typing

Did you know that writing things using a pen and paper makes you learn better and faster?

Did you know that students who use their laptop for all of their note taking usually end up taking more notes, but remember and understand far less?

Taking written notes when researching

• Removes the "cut and paste" temptation that can lead to plagiarism.
• Re-writing in your own words helps you check understanding.
• Makes things easier to remember.
• Forces you to make sure you are sticking to what is really important.
