The idea is to relieve the student of the need to take complete notes on
the lecture but to encourage him/her to write certain "important"
things.  Come from the old Chinese proverb:  I hear and I forget; I see
and I remeber; I do and I understand.  In my experience, it's "I write
and I remember."

=Likewise, if the student feels attending the lecture will help, she'll
=attend.
Never understood why a student wouldn't come to class.  A class meeting
has as its goal making learning easier.
