  • It’s undeniably better for memorization. But I think it has diminishing returns for comprehension.

    Perhaps it’s just my learning style. I found paying full attention to lectures instead of splitting my attention between dictating and listening, allowed me to absorb more of the material than if I went back to look at notes.
