[quote=Anonymous]A laptop with pen input, like Lenovo Yoga C940. My DC is a 1st year student majoring in physical science. She is staying in the dorms, with most classes remote. She told me that for homework and tests, they have to show their work, meaning writing rows and rows of equations often containing greek and mathematic symbols that are not on a keyboard. Many students do their work on paper, then scan and upload their assignment. TA's feedback from grading early assignments is the scans are sometimes not clear... thin or light lines disappeared, etc. They're told to re-copy homework neatly using use a fat pen. That takes extra time out of a student's already busy schedule. With a 2-in-1 laptop (ie laptop convertible to tablet), my daughter can "write" her homework right on the screen, knowing the image on her screen is what the graders will see. And she doesn't need access to a scanner.[/quote]
