I do math, and most of what I know about learning is derived from my experience with math. YMMV.

Homework. So much homework. Do all the exercises in the book. Taking notes helps me focus on a lecture, but I might as well use a brush with water on slate -- I rarely ever actually look at them a second time. I do not learn by watching. I recall a few nuggets that my brain can reach for when doing the work. I learn through application. It's common in math that students do not understand the contents of a class until they're halfway through the next class that depends on it. That's where the integration (unavoidable pun acknowledged) happens.
