If you find the lecture goes very fast, this means you should read the textbook before the class.

Maybe! But sometimes the professor really does just whiz through some proofs without a lot of pause or explanation, and even when I grok the content, rushing to write it all down was mostly counterproductive.

But yeah, I've also seen big gains from reading the textbook ahead of time
