Table 6. Longhand Note Takers' Comments about Note Taking and Being Enrolled in the Study.

“I think my grade improved because I learned how to better study which is independent of my note taking skills.”

“It was fun to take handwritten notes, as it made learning the materials easier at the end.”

“I was not as concerned with grammatical errors like if I'm typing. Instead, I spent more time listening and understanding. I worried less.”

“Encourage other students to try it. I use different colored pens, and I think that part is very helpful.”

“I liked taking them by hand knowing I could go back and listen to lecture recordings. Then, I know when I was missing something.”

“Didn't have to think about connectivity, malfunctions, and other problems.”

“Very effective. It reduced the total time needed to study for exams and significantly boosted my grades.”

“Nice that we didn't HAVE to do it for all lectures.”

“What are the results?”
