Many people with the increases in technology type out all of their work. Typing can be a good tool to use but in my opinion writing information by hand is almost always better. When studying for test or simply doing my daily homework I prefer to handwrite my work. I find from my multiple years of experience that I always remember what I write down better than typing. My brain has been accustomed to writing out important information and when I write something down it automatically makes it easier to access that information later. I have used this to my advantage especially for vocabulary test. Physically writing the vocab word out allows me to mechanically memorize the word through muscle memory which makes more connections in my brain so it is easier to find that information when it comes to taking the test. When studying for finals I also find it beneficial to physically write down the information I am trying to learn. I always find that finals that I make outlines for I always test higher in than if I were to study without writing down the information.
There are times when typing is beneficial though. When trying to make a paper or an assignment look cleaner or more professional I always try to type out the information. The assignments that I typed out the most that are not mandatory to type would be lab reports because they always look better typed out. I do find that when I type out papers or lab reports that I do not recall as much information as I would if I would had written them. This normally is not a problem though because it is not information that needs to be accessible later. I find physically writing out information in beneficial for me to learn the information do you agree?
