hand writing notes.

Does it affect your hand writing? etc.etc.

write notes definitely.

laptops are way too distracting and you have to handwrite your hsc, so why not practice now.

typing up note on notebook helps in no way to cover up illiteracy and poor handwriting.

typing is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy more quicker (for me), BUT there's a massive distraction in the form of the internets and games/movies on my laptop.

Handwriting notes takes longer and u have ur handwriting to worry about (legibility etc, but i can always read my writing no matter how spazzed out it is), BUT there's more memory retention because ur physically and purposefully writing out stuff and it takes more time and u kinda absorb it more.
i think.

laptop for uni, write it all out for school.

Probably better writing them out, makes it easier to write equations, draw diagrams, symbols and all that.

Plus its good practise for HSC anyway. E.g you'll need to write pages and pages of English essays in the English exam and otehrs too (esp if you're doing more humanities than maths/science)
