How do you take notes in college?

One word document for each class is where it’s at for me.

I have dysgraphia (yes, it’s a real thing) so basically my handwriting sucks, a lot. I pretty much had to take remedial handwriting throughout elementary school because I was always WAY behind. My teachers often had trouble reading my handwriting. I typed and turned in many assignments every other student wrote by hand. In the state writing tests in 8th and 10th grade, I was allowed to use a computer, and on AP, SAT, and ACT I was given extra time on the writing portions.

However, there was no precedent at my high school that allowed me to have a computer in class just because of my writing problems. That was reserved for students with more severe impairments. So having a laptop to take notes in college is a blessing for me.
