I agree, pen and paper in lectures. Keeps you awake and personally I find writing it engages my brain at least 50% more than typing which is a very zoned out thing to do (for me anyway). Also I find other people's laptop screens in lectures annoying, especially if they're just watching TV or something... to be honest pen and paper on the wards too. It's useful to get used to documenting things well with pen and paper if you end up in a trust that still uses physical notes, as that will be your life in any case. Then get a cheap laptop for clinical placements, if you want to bring a desktop computer now.
Probably it depends on the person but I went to all my lectures in person and got super pissed when they started pre-recording things for us and telling us to watch them. If there is anything more passive than sitting in a lecture theatre being spoken at, it's sitting in your own room watching videos of people speaking at other people. I didn't find it very helpful for learning and staying engaged, I got distracted all the time! Endless cups of tea and clicking into other tabs instead of paying attention. Equally printing off lecture slides =/= acquiring the information. I dunno, sometimes the burden of lectures is very high at medical school and for me I felt like I needed to employ methods just to keep my brain engaged.
