The left hemisphere is more logical and solves problems that require complex symbol manipulation. The right hemisphere evaluates sensory information quickly and makes "aesthetic" judgments.

Since we usually direct our behaviour by making reasoned decisions, in those cases the left hemisphere is the controlling side, but experiments have demonstrated that split-second reactions are managed by the right-brain, which can respond better to what we perceive than to what we think.

Is it normal for a left brained person in college to be terrible at writing?

If by "left brained" you mean, has a dominant left cerebral hemisphere, most people have dominant left cerebral hemispheres, which is why most people are right handed (note that the left cerebral hemisphere controls the right side of the body; the nerves cross to the opposite side). In a sense, I can agree with your statement, because most people actually are terrible at writing. But it isn't their left cerebral hemispheres which are to blame. It's just that most people don't care enough about writing to learn how to do it well.


What is each cerebral hemisphere is divided into?

Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into four main lobes: the frontal lobe, responsible for decision-making and movement; the parietal lobe, which processes sensory information; the occipital lobe, dedicated to vision; and the temporal lobe, involved in hearing and memory. Additionally, each hemisphere is associated with specific functions and often exhibits lateralization, where certain cognitive processes are more dominant in one hemisphere than the other.

Why are children left handed?

Handedness is caused by the dominance of one cerebral hemisphere over the other. Dominant right hemispheres cause left handedness (each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body to the side it is on, since the nerves cross over). The exact reason why one hemisphere is dominant rather than the other, remains unknown. Quite possibly it is just an accident of fetal development.
