before reading anything.. the side i take is pencils.
when you say your calc hw looks better than everyone elses.. isn't that cuz you spent more time on it? can't someone with a pencil looks just as neat as you if they spent the time? also, if you compare the time it takes to make pen writing and pencil writing to look neat (same level of neatness), wouldn't pencil writing take less time? when your using a pen, you spend a lot of time being cautious and slow/steady so you don't make as many mistakes. with a pencil, you just keep going and erase Neatly, which doesn't take much effort (imo)
and, i like my handwriting more in pencil. if i use a pen, i shake too much. the constant thought of not being able to erase hurts my brain.
yes i know if you cross out stuff you can learn from your mistakes, but theres usually enough time (between mistake and erase) to be able to keep mental notes of what kind of mistake it was, extract what makes it a mistake into your brain, and learn not to do the same again as i progress with my pencil usage. and as you continue in that way, the information you get from all the different types of mistakes you've already made becomes a habit.
i think most of the reason why i like pencils is cuz i have some sort of obsessive compulsive problem.
and, im left handed. writing from left to right, leaving the other part of my hand on top of the rest of the paperwork and then it gets all dirty if the equipment (including the paper) is not Good. (tho this has nothing to do with pen/pencils)
oh and paper matters too. i prefer mead. or whatever that kind is that comes with fivestar notebooks
and so do erasers. i like magic rubs, monos, and this
if a pen must be used.. it should be a pilot g-2, or an rsvp. i can't use fat ones cuz its ehh.
