I’m going to university this September. Nearly everybody says “In university they don’t try to understand what you’ve written it is unintelligible.” My handwriting is incredibly ugly. I want to improve it by the time I go to uni.

In elementary school they only taught me cursive handwriting. And I never bothered to learn print handwriting. I can write like that but I’m really slow at it.

How can I improve my handwriting? Which exercises I should do?

Thanks in advance!

    In my personal experience the most of the time I’ve hand written stuff that needs to be graded are mid term and final exams. 90% of the time are digitally typed essays and research papers. I’ve only written in cursive but my profs are mostly older and I’ve never got any complaints about it. Also most profs out there are trying to give you as much help as possible. They’re not out there to try and fail you. Most of them anyway lol.

    I’ve also never used laptops in class and have only taken notes by hand. Maybe practice like that would help?

      I’ve heard in my country profs can be just plain jerk. They can chose to not pass you just because you critiqued them. I’ve heard plenty of stories like this.
