I write by hand when I am at work mostly, but when completing assignments I generally type. When I take notes I prefer to write by hand. I found this task easy to complete in the sense of the assignment, but difficult for me emotionally. It feels like with the subject I wrote about, nothing has really changed. I wasn’t alive in 1992, but having seen the footage and all, you could fool someone who is not familiar with it that it came from this past weekend rather than 28 years ago. In terms of actually handwriting the reflection it was easy because I am very comfortable handwriting. I preferred it during my undergraduate studies as I found that the information was able to be better embedded in my memory with handwriting than typing notes.<\/p>\n
For any mistakes or changes I wanted to make, I scribbled the words I wanted to change or re-write. The way I edited my work was scribbling out any words I misspelled or wrote in a manner that did not look clear to me. This choice of media definitely played a part in how I edited my work. If I was typing, I would just backspace to fix any mistakes and make any necessary changes. This is obviously not an option for handwriting. The only similar option would be erasing pencil, but in this case I used a pen since I was writing for a formal assignment and the pen would also allow my words to appear more clearly on the page. I could also have used white-out, but I did not have any readily available. I have also in my science training been told it is better to just scratch out mistakes than white them out, especially in the context of lab notebooks that are checked for authenticity.<\/p>\n
I would say the most significant difference is the writing process. For mechanized forms of writing such as typing, you don’t see a persons mistakes on the page. It can make the writing feel like it must be perfect, which could intimidate anyone who does not feel confident with their own writing. When writing by hand, specifically by pen, you can see where the writer has made a mistake. This shows that not all writers are perfect, so no new or young writer should feel they must be perfect either. If I had to pick writing by hand or a mechanized form, I would pick writing by hand just because of its unique properties. For example, my handwriting is unique to me, the font I am typing this very Task with is a generic form anyone else could use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
