Some people just claimed that they don't/didn't take notes in classes.  I
think that's fine for them.  Even when I am interested in a lecture, I
often find it hard to keep my attention on it, unless I take notes
(I sometimes take notes for non-class lectures).  In classes with
active discussions I only jot down references people mention which
I might want to look up, as the active engagement of a discussion keeps
my mind from wandering.
