Do you still write papers by hand?

Maybe as a rough draft or something. Personally I don't. The only time I write anything on paper is when I have to write an essay on an exam.

What about you?

professors won't accept anything that isn't typed.... 12 size New Times Roman, double spaced, 1" margins.

Yes, it takes up more space and my LA professor likes it for some reason (only for rough drafts)

I do my outlines on paper, so that i can organize my thoughts. Then I move to the computer to get them structured, and actually start writing out the paper.

I cannot remember the last time I hand-wrote a paper. Not counting blue blooks, it must've been at least 10 years.

I do sometimes when I'm working on organizing my thoughts and am writing a paper for a required class. I'm officially done with all of the required writing courses in my major though :).

I even have an electronic pen. Who needs paper? just write on a wall and download it later.

Me, too. Maybe for small assignments in middle school, too.

I :heart: computers-- my poor little hands and fingers hurt after a few hours of taking notes for classes. I can't imagine writing out any lengthy assignment.
