do you find homework easier to do on computers?

Mikhail Gorbachev · 10-12-2006, 12:43 PM

In my school almost all homework is done on computers. Does it help?
Let's see, I post at the very least 60 times per day.
Think I do my homework?
If I stayed on task, it would help, but, who actually does that?

ROBERT2011 · 10-12-2006, 12:56 PM

i never used to get homework but i have the meanist teacher

Depends on the subject.

For example, assignments for acting class are exceptionally difficult to complete on a computer.
When writing papers, however, the compy helps tremendously.
But with math, while a machine is nice for huge calculations, it's a lot easier to do symbols & stuff with a pencil.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Everything is easier with Google.

I always do mine handwritten. I just find it easier.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 10-15-2006, 04:35 AM

Don't even do homework.

And I'm in college.

I swear this is the easiest math class EVER.

We do almost all our classwork on the comp.

The King · 10-16-2006, 11:19 AM

I do.

Bomby · 10-16-2006, 10:42 PM

Depends.

Swordmaster Link · 10-20-2006, 03:35 PM

There's more room for distraction on a computer.

ZeldaGirl · 10-21-2006, 12:09 AM

Indeed, SML. It's funny how you always IM me whilst I'm trying to do my homework....

Alex · 10-24-2006, 04:39 PM

^Well maybe SOMEONE shouldn't BE ON IM when they're doing homework.

t3hDarkness · 11-20-2006, 11:45 PM

I happen to like setting out my paper on a big wooden table, sharpening a wooden#2 pencil, and shuffling through folders. No lie, I've been brought up far behind the curve, never even owned a computer till 2002. Working hard on catching up.

Can't imagine math with a keyboard though.

LinkManDX · 11-27-2006, 08:26 PM

I can type like 30 WPM. I can only write like 15. It is easier to do written homework on a computer. But, it really does depend on a subject.

I like to write down and solve algebra problems in steps.

The time taken to revise an English paper is cut by at least 95% when working on a Word document instead of re-writing it using pencil.

And I have AIM on when doing homework. It helps me try to not go insane with stress (Try getting home at 6 and having a few hours of homework. And see your sanity in a couple of weeks.)

Straha · 03-11-2007, 07:23 AM

Yes. I have crap handwriting so typing is a MAJOR boon.
