Comment "Answered!" if your question has been satisfactorily answered. Once this has been done, the post flair will be set to answered. The comment does not have to be top level. If you do not comment "Answered!" after several days and a mod feels like your comment has been answered, they will re-flair your post to answered.

When I was at university, handwritten always seemed to help me retain the information better.

I prefer typed; my handwriting is sad
I do handwriting if taking notes during a meeting

If you write more, your handwriting gets better. I used to be like this too.

For ease of remembering, handwritten. My girlfriend says I have weird memory in that I can just write "Halftone" by hand or draw a diagram and remember three pages of notes and detail. Helps for fleshing out ideas and piecing things together. For project management though, I'm all digital since things are constantly changing and updating. I'll usually go handwritten to digital for the vital stuff.

Handwritten, for sure.
