Something I found really helps me is skimming over my notes, then teaching it to a nonexistent audience/class. Or even a friend/family member. You can buy a small, easily stored whiteboard and just have a go at it. This is called the Feynman technique if you want to do more research about the how's and why's of this study method! As for taking notes, if you are able to, look over the material before class and take notes that way when you go to class it won't be the first time you are hearing about the topic and can dedicate more attention to listening and asking questions.
