It is true though that one needs to prevent material being forgotten after the lecture - good homework sets are one important way to combat this. | |

(From my personal experience as a student: when I don't take notes I feel like understanding more during the lecture but forgetting faster afterwards. When I take notes I can't follow that much but have the impression that the knowledge stays for longer. I wonder if that's just my impression or if there are studies proving this effect.) | |

My students (at UCLA, by chance) actually told me that they want the slides to print before class, so they could annotate them. Others complained at the beginning that the slides vanish too quickly. After changing the format to make the lecture slower and more printable, I find that my classes have been much better. | |
