Okay, first thing you need to do is be sure that you read your text book BEFORE you go to class. This gives you a general idea of what will be discussed in class and will give you some preparation. I usually read my chapter once all the way through and then go through again and write out notes on what I feel are important points. If you have any questions while you are reading the book jot them down and take them to class with you, that way you can review them before class and listen up during the lecture, if your question gets answered without asking take notes, and if it is not answered through the lecture bring it up in class. You are probably not the only person who wondered that exact thing anyway.
Finally take notes while you are in class, but as soon as possible after class review them and jot down notes on anything that isn't clear or may not seem clear when you go to study it the next day. This step is really important because though things makes sense in class trying to go back and make sense of your lecture notes at a later time is almost never as clear as it was when you took the notes just because we tend to not write full sentences or we make references to what we are talking about in class.
Good Luck.

There are untold volumes dedicated to this very topic - you are not alone. The thing is you have to find the tool(s) that work for you. Your local library is a wealth of information and the least expensive way to find these tools for the investment of time and not money. In the meantime you could audio tape each class and replay them as you review your notes.
I did find one online source which may be a good starting point.

You think it's bad now (memory), wait until you hear this. Science (knowledge) DOUBLES every SIX months !!! You need a computer to store what's in your mind, on to! And in addition to that; as you get older, your brain size actually shrinks !!! We use about 10% of our brain; therefore, ...?,,,? ,,,? !!!

try pairing up with someone or joining a study group. also go back over your notes immediatley when you get home to keep them fresh in your mind.

Start by going back to high school, and learning how to spell. Then you can start taking notes that you can even read later.
