It would be interesting to compare to writing down something as well. My anecdotal observation (and I believe there is some scientific literature to support this as well) from college lectures is that I retained more from writing pieces of the lecture down, even if I never reviewed my handwritten notes afterward.

In addition to being able to memorise things better when reading them out loud, I also agree with your observation. I have the same memories about what I did at university: writing down the parts of the lecture that I needed to learn for a test helped me a lot. It took more time than just reading over the stuff, but it was very effective for me.
