In college I always took notes in class then I would rewrite them and at the same time organize them. In my study groups people would always copy my re-written notes. There was certainly something there aiding in learning, more than just sending a document of notes and just reading it.

Sometimes I'd just take one set of notes and then not look at them after.

So then I got the brilliant idea to not take notes, since I wasn't looking at them!

It turned out that the act of taking the notes was fixing the material in my head such that I didn't need the notes to refer back to.
