I don't remember anything either whether I write or type. So it is important that I at least take good notes I can then study off of and make flash cards or practice. Only times I actually learned and remembered is for less information dense material like math that is centered around problem solving rather than information retention and regurgitation.

For me class isn't for remembering or learning. Just being exposed to material that can be used to study and understand outside of it.
