    Their sample size is students who took handwritten notes versus students who typed.

    Ignoring the incredibly small sample size and the extremely specific scenario, I’m not convinced.

      This is nothing new. I had many professors who would not allow laptops due to the differences in encoding and recall between the two mediums.

      I used a surface and stylus for note-taking for this very reason, and I had two strict professors make exceptions because my note-taking was technically still handwritten.
