In the past when I was on the other side and taking courses (rather than
giving them) I took notes on the courses with harder material.  If a 
lecture of an easy course was hard I started taking notes (if necessary on
the backs of envelopes).  Since I didn't want to take my attention from
the instructor I didn't look down to see what I was writing.  As you might
expect the result was utter garbage, not recognizable as english.  It didn't
matter, I remembered better when I wrote it down legibly or illegibly.
