   i would add a clarification for today's students: by hand.

   typing doesn't appear to have the same power, at least for myself and my students that ive talked to about it.

      I don't know, it really depends on the person. Writing things out by hand doesn't help me, and I don't see any difference at all between handwriting and typing

         Writing by hand is harder and slower. This gives you time to ponder, understand the important point better, try to formulate it shorter and thus search for and extract the key points. IOW, it forces you to study what you write, not just register.
