Usually I use some short script (i.e. my own abbreviations, which some others can figure out but most of it is rather cryptic) and sit right in the first few front rows. I read the material before class then I write right on the lecture notes I've printed off, so I only add on what is important.

During a break (i.e. courses with 3 hour lectures) or after the lecture, I compare notes with my friends. Sometimes I miscopied or just missed something entirely.

I handwrite it as I'm not a very fast typer.

When I write, usually I look where on the paper I put my pen/pencil then listen to the prof and write without looking, and yes, it is very legible and relatively neat.

I don't skip lines between notes as I don't like to, so I tend to draw little arrows around the page, although they're not too bad, still legible.
