Do you prefer to use pen or pencils for your science classes?

pentel p209 mechanical pencil
i really dislike the ink smell and it annoys me too much. mechanical pencil is very easy to use and lasts a long time.
A bunch of orange pencils.
>>7740969
>ink smell
what fuckin pens are you using mate that's fucked I can't smell shit even when I bring it right up to my nose
>>7740966
GraphGear 1000 pentel with .3 but its gotta be the Uni nano diamond brand otherwise its too brittle
>>7740966
Thick black ink for muh aesthetic.
Pencils are for scrubs.
>>7740989
I always notice it. I really don't like smells.
>>7740966
I do everything in my mind.

Benefit of pencil over pen:
can erase

Can't be erased by fags jealous of my research
Pen for notes. Pencil for problem sets, problems, etc.
>>7740966
Research/Labwork = Pen
Math/Abstract = Pencil
>>7740966
Pen cause I never make mistake, I am Hardcore
>>7740966
I use correction tape

You know you could always,
Wash your hands
As a math major, I use pen and only pen. Usually thick black ink, Papermate Flair felt tip or Pilot G2. Yeah, I can't erase my work, I've had to cross out entire pages of work on exams many times, but you know what? It looks good, feels good, and is easier to read and write with, and that's all I care about.
I use a highlighter most of the time, except on exams, I use magic markers.

I make too many weird little mistakes for pens.
I tend to think further ahead than I'm writing, especially on exams or submission work where I have to make sure it's legible. That means I often write something from the next part of the problem/equation in the middle of the current problem/equation. Having to cross out the whole line of work just because I accidentally put one variable when it was supposed to be another would end up taking forever.
Cheapest 0.7mm mechanical pencils all the way. Doesn't rip my paper like thinner lead can and I can press hard if I need to make my writing clear over top of all my eraser marks.
Also, thick lead means I can do some shading on the doodles I inevitably draw when I get bored in class.
>but still erase them all when they become pictures of dicks
Wood Pencil.
Because I don't need to spend more than a few cents on a fucking writing stick that'll probably get stolen after the first day by someone on this /thread
>>7740989
I don't mind the smell, and I liked to use pen a lot but recently fell in love with mechanical pencils. I use a brand called Zebra which is fairly popular and good quality build for the price.

How much of an autist do you have to be to get shit on your hands?
>>7743016
Just have to be left handed, and writing in a left-to-right language.

I prefer this, only because it leaves a nice indentation on my fingers when I write. It grips so well.
Pen because it minimizes my chances of making a mistake as I take more time to solve the problem
>>7743025
That's really no excuse.
OHTO PM-1503P
0.3 is noice for detailed drawings and I can write with it too, plus the adjustable lead sheath (dunno what it's called, the bit just around where the actual lead comes out) length is useful, having it a bit shorter than maximum length make writing more comfortable and also lets you make it pocket safe. I really like the bit that lets you adjust how much is dispensed per click. The lead grade indicator is a nice feature but I doubt I'll use it, HB is fine for me
Drawback is that any time I let someone else use it, they click it like five fucking times and then seem surprised when the lead snaps
You are a man-child if you use peb.
definitely a pen, only autists take the time to erase things and rewrite them. the equation you've just written is not a piece of art to be cherished it's an answer to task.
>>7744111
>equations aren't art
Their beauty is hidden from the eyes of a pleb like a cherry blossom under a veil of snow in early winter.
>>7744115
they're practical and logical and useful for solving problems but if you don't understand deeper math you're just solving puzzles m8

If you use a pencil chances are your political views are left wing while if you use a pen you have a higher chance of being rightwing.
>>7744136
I'm right wing and I use an Uni Kuru Toga together with an Ain Stein Black polymer eraser. I care about my shit being legible years after I wrote them down, so I don't like to have to strike mistakes I make with pen, because it can get a real mess. Erasing purges the mistake.
>>7743027
I use this pencil, and it has the best damn grip.

i use a .5 mm drafting pencil for notes and tests
i use .5 mm pens for math so i'm in the mindset that i can't fuck up lest i waste space, reminds me to take my time, write clearly, and think about what im doing

lel as if I'd take anything that plebby.
>>7740966
I use the Rotring 600 at the very top in 0.5mm for everything except lab. Hands down the best pencil I've ever used. If you're in math intensive courses, I'd recommend getting a drafting pencil with a knurled metal grip, specifically a Rotring. You'll never want to use anything else after getting one.

0.5mm mechanical pencils are the best though?

>wanting to break your lead every time you look at it cross eyed
>not wanting lead that could survive a nuclear blast
It is literally impossible to break unless you do it intentionally
>>7742951
>pilot G2
my nigga
pigment ink fine tipped gel pens only
>>7740989
Ballpoint and some rollerball pens smell. Others generally don't smell at all.
go big or go home
.7mm mech pencils. While it's important having a comfy and ergonomic pencil, it's also very important that you get some nice lead with it. I use 2B pentel led.
Get with the times, kids.
Pen using ink that disappears with friction of the rubber end (heat above 65°C)
>>7740966
Gel ink pens because the dark ink is easier to read and it looks nice.
>>7744490
look at that sweet tribal tat art. These look 2legit. Fag.
>>7744504
some people got problems
>>7740966
Pic related.
1st year math major and because of the dark tone of the ink, to the untrained eye it looks really cool, edgy and like if I was doing really top tier mathematics like inter-universal teichmuller theory when actually I'm doing basic homomorphism proofs.
I love black ink.
>>7740966
Pen. Glides way easier over the page.
My penis. Cum sticks right on the page.
>>7744517
That doesnt look edgy at all, fgt
Stop studying maths because your on your best way of brcoming a fedora autist
pic related for notes. thing glides over paper; great for fast writers like me. also the unlimited choices for ink is a plus, which allows you to experiment with pretty much any shade of any color of any viscosity - if you cant find THE perfect ink for you in the world of fountain pens then theres something wrong with you
i do use ballpoint for lab work though
