Taking notes is a great way of helping you identify important knowledge in class. Even if you have a great memory, you won't be able to remember everything that the teacher says, unless you have a written record for your references.
Important information has a way of appearing in ways in quizzes, in-class writing assignments, essay assignments, and other testing situations. Even if the notes don't reappear in a testing situation, you may be asked to answer from the knowledge you gained from the teachings from a future in-class discussion.
It's just a good idea to have a record of what you've covered so far in the class. You're probably scheduled to sit in the class for at least an hour, and the teacher will probably take full advantage of the time. Listen carefully. Take careful note of what the teacher says. Don't let yourself zone out. You may be missing out on information that you're going to need for a future test or literature paper.
