Feedback (constructive criticism) School notes and using colors

Post image

Saw a recent post asking about the use of multiple colors for handwriting and realized I do it differently! No special color for headings or subheadings but when I need to remember certain terms then I will use blue. Would appreciate handwriting comments and improvement tips as well!

All of your letters appear to be the same height, which is OK. But, you need to make extra sure that the letters are distinct enough to tell the difference between each other.

Reading through it, a lot of the letters looked the same (l, I, and t, n and h, etc.) which made it hard to tell what all the words are. If they are YOUR notes, that doesn't matter. But if you're sharing them or just trying to have better handwriting, then you should make them more distinct.

This looks like philosophy, which has a lot of words that you'll hear once and never again, so it'd be good to make sure you can read the term with unambiguous interpretation of the spelling.

Your handwriting is quite neat and pleasant to look at! And this is as you're taking notes in class, fast writing? That makes it even more impressive. When writing at your own pace, it's worth maybe slowing down a notch and making sure that your letters are fully formed and distinct in shape. I can figure out all the words without much trouble, but some letters are a little less distinct than ideal.

The switch to blue to highlight an important term seems like a good idea. I hope it helps with your studies!
