How do you take notes in college?

For my math and science classes I found that it was much more efficient to use old fashion pen and paper because of all the numbers, equations, and diagrams I have to draw out myself. It also helped me learn it better because I was actually aware and conscious of what I was writing. However, I found that my humanities classes I used my laptop to write notes. Those classes usually rely on powerpoints and I found it easier to either write notes on the powerpoint or to type really fast and get all the important details my teacher was saying. I guess bottom line is that it really depends on the class for me. Usually after the first week of classes I can determine which class is better to use pen and paper and which is better to type.
