    I’ve never brought a computer/laptop to class in uni except when I needed to do a presentation. I vastly prefer to take notes by hand because I find that I retain info much better. And I’m a massive doodler. I’m pretty pen and paper playing ttrpgs as well.

      I am the complete opposite. My notes were terrible in college, such a mess.

      I bought a laptop for grad school and took all my notes in outline form. Changed everything. School was easy now. I was super organized and studying was trivial. No crap in the margins, no weird arrows pointing around because the prof added some comments to earlier info.

      Just wonderful,clean neat notes.

      Also, others wanted copies so I would sell them, wasnt a lot of money, but it kept me in donuts.

      Agreed. I have ADHD and need that tactile feedback to commit things to memory.

      The only downside is that I can type so much faster than I can write by Hans.

        I’ve basically developed a system of shorthand-ish where I shorten a lot of common words into a few letters or even symbols and threw grammar out the window lol. I never compared it with my type speed but it works for me
