In fact often the exact opposite - one of my friends back when we where studying told me that he remembers lectures better when doodling (he got top marks in his masters degree), back then I started doodling and found that I have the same experience, doodling "removes" the bored part of me and helps me focus on whats going on.
These days I do the same during meetings and I find that I cope better with the meeting and often remember better what went on.
It has to do with practicality. You've got limited numbers of professors, and huge amounts of students. For some general courses, packing 200 students into a lecture hall is about the only way to cover the material.
When it comes to more specific courses, where you're only going to get 20 students anyway, a seminar format works better.

I HATED “teachers” who gave us the homework of just copying book pages by hand to “learn” them. I couldn’t remember a word of what was written on them.
I specifically avoided taking any notes, as much as possible. And only wrote down formulas, or basic laws. (In a graph, like a mind map, but without the stupid limitations.)
If I didn’t understand everything, I pressed pause, and went back a minute.
Oh, did I mention, that the lectures themselves were only half of where the learning took place, and watching it on video a second time at home filled in the blanks that made the whole lecture useful and stick in the first place?
Python has scoping, functions, good control structures, and a usable set of data structures.
BASIC has had all that for decades. Clue: there are many versions of BASIC which have progressed since 1964.
1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1.
