In college, I'd try to read ahead (when I was a good student, so about 3 years in), and my lecture notes were a hybrid longhand/shorthand of what the professor presented, organized in a rough outline form.

At work it's largely the same, but now I do a lot of note capturing in org-mode on my laptop, either at the time I'm learning/acquiring information or after the fact by transcribing my handwritten notes.

A lot of things get forgotten, but C-s finds most of it.
