My favorite lecture-style classes were ones where the prof (or more often a TA) would post notes for each lecture online. You still benefitted from taking your own notes, especially to remember what concepts the prof was really hammering home (and likely testing on). But it freed you up to appreciate and mentally digest the lecture, without worrying about recording every little fact. I've never understood why every lecture-style class doesn't work this way – except for the minimal extra effort required.

Because: 1. The effort is not minimal if you want to produce decent _notes_ (not dry slides). 2. What is written black on white will bite you back. Unhappy students will complain loudly to your school about your incompetence for a missing comma in a code snippet. This will have a non-positive impact on your career. So, notes are not posted mostly because of problem 1, but in many environments problem 2 also plays a big role.
