I graduated from college because a classmate took notes. I rarely ever attended class in my major. I was notorious for it. I had 3 jobs. I would ride the bus an hour and a half to school and spend most days sleeping in the student union. I'd go xerox her notes right before the test, study them a few times during lunch breaks and afterward at work, and then go take the exams. She took such good notes that I almost always had higher grades than she did. Studying notes is more important than taking them, but having great notes means As if you understand what you're reading.
