I wasn't much of a notetaker in college. But there may be something to it. I was going through old books from university over christmas. I found two notebooks where I took extensive notes during class. They were all familiar. I remembered the content of the class quite well, whereas I've forgotten most other classes. (Of course, one possible bias is that I thought these two teachers were better, so I may have paid more attention)
