Apr 27, 2010 at 8:01 comment added Miguel I agree on the Abe Lincoln effect. It helps me that I can hear the lecture, see what's written on the board or presented in slides, in addition to writing the notes (often I write my own version of what I think the lecturer is saying - so some processing is going on) and then reading my own notes as I write them. I think this helps me remember the lecture better. In fact, though I sometimes take nice notes, I hadly ever revisit my own notes, which I take as further evidence that the purpose of my note-taking is not reference but an aid to acquiring the information by involving many channels...

In fact, I have had students in my calculus classes take pictures of each blackboard which I posted on the web. This cuts down on the verbatim blackboard copying.
