I think all lectures should be taken seriously in all subjects. Full attendance is vital for success in all courses, though there are people that don't attend lectures and still pass tests and exams I still think full attendance is mandatory. Taking notes or jotting points is equally as important as attendance. I prefer linear note taking to any other forms because it is simple. Re-writing notes is a waste of precious time because the notes have been written before and besides that, its on moodle, easily downloadable. Revising notes is probably the most important out of all of them, without revising the information can't stick to the brain making the attendance and notes worthless.
