Yeah, if you call doodling on the page 'taking notes'.
: )
I mean.... come on. When you are forced to sit somewhere and listen to someone drone on and on, and you have a pen and paper, what do you do ?
I went to college, then university for years, and I doodled on my note pages all the time (did it in high school, too). If I wasn't taking a note, I was doodling. It helped me concentrate on what was being said - it went in my brain better if I was writing or doodling. Mostly I drew boxes or flowers. Don't discount someone doodling as not paying attention.
