I did read my notes, usually.  For me, they were useful for remindming me of things while doing my homework or studying.  For math, for instance, sometimes I'd be working on homework and look at my notes and remember a technique or something the teacher mentioned.  Or sometimes, I'd look at my past notes when studying for tests, and I'd study the main things the teacher taught us so that hopefully I'd remember those things when taking the test.  Sometimes, the teachers would also specifically have a lesson preparing us for what was going to be on a test, so I'd be sure to take notes then.
