Pretty much everyone in my university took notes on paper in CS classes. Most of it was just math which is much easier to note down with pen and paper (I tried tablets with a stylus but still prefer pen+paper).

The best version I've seen for image-heavy lectures is the lecturer writing with his pad on half-prepared slides, which have also been given to the students for print-out. It combines the advantages from pure slides with pure blackboard writing: - The student has enough time to think and not just write (has often been a problem when the professor is writing very fast and doing complicated stuff). - The student still gets to 'touch' the material and have their own take on it, and writes the critical points and diagrams themselves. - There is no fear of missing something in the hand-written notes when as when deciding between writing and thinking/try to figure out which parts to note down.
