It seems others are always trying to convince me that reading traditional books is better than reading ebooks, and that taking notes by hand is better than typing. I'm willing to be open-minded about such things, so I put both to the test in my classes at school. I've taken two classes per term during the last year. In one class, I've made a point to only use traditional textbooks and handwritten notes, and in the other class, I've gone all digital. Here were my results: In all classes, I received As (I have a 4.0 GPA), so there wasn't really a difference there. However, my digital classes were a lot easier for me. I was able to organize my notes better, use Flashcard Hero to memorize my notes, and listen to my textbooks in the car while I drove. In the all-paper classes, it took me longer to read my assignments, longer to write out my notes, and I felt like I missed a lot while I was note-taking. I never used my paper notes after I wrote them, because they were disorganized and hard to read. Perhaps the situation is different for others, but for me, my grades were the same, but the digital options were faster, easier, and better able to fit into more aspects of my life.
