Are handwritten notes better?
Whether handwritten notes are better than typed notes depends largely on your learning style and how you use them. There is no definitive, conclusive evidence that one method for taking notes is better for all learners or all situations.
Some studies suggest that handwriting can encourage deeper processing because it makes it harder to write everything down verbatim, while typing can be more efficient for capturing large amounts of information. However, both methods can be effective when used thoughtfully.
The best approach is to experiment with handwritten and typed notes in different contexts and see which helps you stay engaged, understand the material, and review it more effectively.
One advantage of typing your notes is that they’re easy to use with tools like QuillBot’s free AI Chat, allowing you to quickly copy and paste your notes to generate practice questions or review key concepts when preparing for exams.
