At the most I'll highlight or just some notes down in the book. There are so many resources (powerpoint lectures, review books, note services, that it can actually be overwhelming how many sources you have and it then becomes a skill to narrow it down to what sources work for you. I enjoyed the freedom of paper, especially in the sciences where you may have to draw a pathway, chart, molecule, etc. I had a laptop but didn't use it for notes. In undergrad if I took notes it was pen/paper. In college that can be very different and if you haven't already learned how you "study" in high school (like me) then in college you'll start developing those skills and by trial and error figure out what works for you. just seemed like whatever you needed to learn or do was clearly laid out. I don't remember taking a whole lot of notes in high school, or studying a whole lot for that matter. Highschool and college are just different animals. No real secrets, just something that you start to learn for yourself, especially once you hit college. Its really amusing to listen to your professors voices at 2x speed. I was obsessed with it when i first found out what it was. its probably the coolest thing ive ever seen. You can also click any point in the notes on any page and the recorder will find that time and start replaying that point of the lecture. The pen also has the ability to record.you can listen to it later at 2x speed or half the speed. Anything she "writes" on this paper she can immediately upload to her computer. My friend got this sweet ass gift (im not sure where) but its this electronic note taking thing.It comes with a "pen" that only writes on this special pad of paper that goes along with the pen. That being said, peope do record lectures.

Ive never had a professor record a lecture and post it up later for the class to listen to. I did that a few tmes before but then just learned how to take notes better during class and it became unnecessary. One thing you can do tho is ask your professor if you can copy down the powerpoint slides before the lecture.

You dont need to record verbatim everything that comes out of the profs mouth. You will learn to pick up on what is important and what is not. Also, not everything a professor says is worth writing down in your notes. So, if you just listen to what he/she is saying then you will get the main points that were covered on the powerpoint. Chances are the professor is talking about whats on the powerpoint.
