I wholeheartedly agree on the "People are different" part. I for one am never able to process information and write it down. It's always either thinking about the content or "copying down curvy lines that purposely mean something". The worst lectures for me were when the teacher / professor forced us to copy down the lectures, even though they had perfect lecture preparations they could have just uploaded online. Or teachers that gave us the homework of copying down these pages of vocabularies because "only then you will remember them".
If you remember only one thing about teaching: There are multitudes of learning styles and only a minority of students will have similar ones than you. Probably, the (as I imagine) magical experience of remembering after writing something down is so intense that it is hard to let that feeling go and let others have their different styles.
Edit: Xi was the worst for me, too. I think the standard letter form as portrayed in print does not lend itself to quick handwriting. Also, if I compare how much time is spend in elementary school teaching how to efficiently write the Latin alphabet to how there is no introduction in university regarding the Greek alphabet (except if you are lucky a complete table with their pronunciation), it is almost ludicrous. Yes, we are all adults at that point in time, but for some reason I still didn't get the idea to google for "how to write greek letters efficiently" back then [1][2].
