How do you take notes?

I saw someone's post asking what to bring on the first day of classes and it inspired me to ask, how do you take notes? What works well? What doesn't?

I tend to change what I do depending on the type of class, lecturer, and assignments. I do find that the longer I'm in school, the more I wish I'd taken notes on my computer so I could search documents. I do find handwritten notes easier to remember which is good for testing.
