Thank you, I've done a few AC's where you can use a laptop but it's just programmed to a word doc to avoid all the AI/googling concerns... guess that's just how this firm does it. My handwriting looks like dead spiders so best work on that lolIt could be any of those things unfortunately. It is not unknown for a full case study to be given and for a written output to be required.
I suspect they are doing it in a handwritten process to ensure there is no spell-check/AI/internet searching done - this is generally the only reason something would be handwritten these days.
