I tried going back to writing in cursive and I was shocked at how different the process of writing was. When writing in script you have to think in terms of whole words. Writing in print is an atomic experience, one latter at a time. And of course once you get good at it you can probably write faster in cursive.
If I were doing my math and Econ classes today I would absolutely use an ipad. Not only can you draw diagrams along with the notes, you can take a picture of the whiteboard or someone else’s notes and extract the text out it. Then later on you can type up the notes to reintegrate (hah!) what you were writing down. Then you could use LaTex or whatever other markup system you want while thinking about the subject matter.
