Students are often given the digital slides which they use to study off of for finals.
The act of writing/taking notes does help some in knowledge retention. Note taking doesn't happen when students have access to the slides.

The purpose of classes are to enable learning. This seems to be best done through student involvement. Lecturing really isn't a good way to get students involved.
