This is not so much motivating, as in saying doodlers actually doodle to absorb content without letting the mind wander. I don't attend to classes for absorbing content (books are fine for that), I do to think deeply about the subject as it's exposed and interact with the teacher with questions, making the exposition richer. This just confirms the doodler stereotype.
