Do you normally write by hand or type? Did you find this task difficult or easy? Explain.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n When I have to write an essay, I normally type, but when I give comments on students\u2019 work or when I tutor, I write by hand. This task was not difficult for me because I am used to writing and I like it. I have always been told that my penmanship is amazing which has kept me writing.<\/span><\/p>\n What did you do when you made a mistake or wanted to change your writing? How did you edit your work? Did your choice of media play a part in how you edited your work?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n When I made a mistake or wanted to change my writing, I just erased it because I used an erasable pen. I actually had to do a draft prior to writing my good copy which took up some time. When I type out my work, I rarely do a draft because I can just edit my work in real time. I was extra careful when writing out my story as I did not want to redo the entire thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What do you feel is the most significant difference between writing by hand and using mechanized forms of writing? Which do you prefer and why?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The most significant difference between writing by hand and using mechanized forms of writing is the amount of time it takes. It took me thirty minutes just to write out my good copy of the essay while it will only take me under five minutes to type out the entire thing. Another significant difference is spell check. When I was writing out my essay, I realized that I had to double check a couple of words\u00a0 because I was not sure if I was spelling them correctly. I had relied on spell check for so long that I didn’t even realize I had forgotten the correct spelling of so many words. My preference would highly depend on what I need to do. If I need to write an essay or communicate with parents, I would much rather type. However, if I need to give feedback, due to all the symbols in chemistry and math, it would be much easier for me to write rather than trying to type up a chemical equation. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Commentary Do you normally write by hand or type?
