I’m a nodder. Consequently I’m also shit at taking notes but engage in the class instead and remember it more from pictures in my mind i.e. a visual learner. I also ask questions.
It works for me, at least in subjects I’m interested in - at least up to MSc level. If it’s something I’m not interested in, even notes won’t help! In one ear and out the other.
When teaching/presenting, knowing that people pick things up in different ways, I offer both a visual presentation and a paper version with key points I’m talking about so the note-takers can write on something (even if they were just going to fill up a notebook anyway!
Yeah I was never a note taker either. I always hated classes where they expected you to take notes and share them with other people who were out. That always drove me crazy. Like my notes would make no sense to anyone but me lol. Do people have a standardized way to take notes? Same with people asking to see your notes. No way. It feels kind of personal in a way.
After you wake up, you write down what happened in your dreams, and it trains your brain to remember your dreams more accurately.
So I started taking notes from memory after class is done, idea is to train my ability to recall and I don’t have to get distracted writing stuff down.
All of this is speculation as I didn’t have chance to test over any full semesters yet.
I nod to indicate listening so much that I’ll do it when I’m not even been seen >m< it happens over voice chat w my friends and sometimes even with videos

Maybe I’m crazy
Any “notes” I take are a series of nouns, kinda like flashcards. They would mean nothing to anyone who wasn’t there.
I recently learned about dream journaling.
