I have found that just writing notes isn't that helpful. I would make flash cards of important things that I need to memorize.

The good thing about taking notes is that you are studying actively. You are not just reading you are taking notes. that means you are filtering the content. for whether on paper or computer, I think it depends on how you spend most of your time and your comfort.

Good luck.
