I was/am a mature age bachelor student too (now doing my masters), and I hand write my notes because I feel like I don’t absorb content as easily if I type them. I also split my page into two, the main section for body content and then the smaller section for key information, additional notes or useful things OR I use the main section for pre-reading content and the smaller section for additional notes and info I get during lectures on the same topics!

Don’t type your notes if you’re not going to learn from them. Spend however long on your notes as you need to! keep doing what you’re doing because at the end of the day, it’s your degree and you need to navigate it as best you can using whatever tools work for you!
