Deciding between cursive and print handwriting
Most professors prefer handwriting that is legible.

I have seen some (asian weirdly, all other nationalities tend to a larger style and there are 90+ nationalities in the establishment) students with handwriting so small it is difficult to read but perfectly formed though.

Some write cursive others like small caps but all are fine when neat and legible.

The issue is always the “spider scrawl” that is not legible and so poor that even the author can’t read it later.
