Sometimes (not saying this is your experience but it was mine) theres way too much information coming at you to write down. If you dont understand any of it, you will miss things while furiously note taking and it wont be an efficient way to learn. In that case better in my view to read ahead so you can focus your class time on the complex parts. If you really need the full record you can always find a lecture recording, a textbook or someone elses notes
