Note-taking pen vs. paper

Study showed that note taking on pen seems to be superior compared to typing them out, due to the laptop note takers’ tendency to transcribe lectures verbatim rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words.

But if they do the latter well, I think the results just about even out. It could also be that students writing notes on paper are more diligent when it comes to those things, as they have to be formatted according to their wants, and they’re more likely to address minor details.
