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.

This is a very interesting study to me. When learning I've always read out books/scripts/articles loud to myself and it actually helped me to remember things easier than by just reading them without speaking the text. So it was not just my imagination it seems.
