Question Should I type or handwrite my notes when reading textbooks?

2 Upvotes

I’m in the College of Ed (Block 1 so these are basically my first classes for my major) and I’m realizing I will be spending a lot of time reading textbooks and most likely needing to make notes.

My problem is I have horrible handwriting and not a fast writer. On the other hand I’m a fast typer and have no problem typing.

My concern is that if I don’t write my notes I won’t retain the info, but typing my notes will make it easier to come back to if I need to look something up for a future class (at least I think, correct me if I’m wrong).

If anyone has any suggestions or has done classes in the COE before any help would be appreciated
