Knit. Though that's just me; I can *listen* while knitting, or I can knit, look attentive, and keep just enough attention on the class to haul myself back if I need to.
Write something unrelated to the class. The difference between taking notes for a class, and making notes for a story--or even writing fragments of story, at least in my case--is not very visible.
Read ahead in the book--or work on homework for the class. Again, the difference between looking at things immediately relevant or looking at things ahead is not very visible.
Or ask your professor what she'd like you to work on. Most teachers understand that people learn at different rates, and really don't want you to be sitting there bored any more than you want to be sitting there bored.
Me, I'd stay in the class, because if I picked up the grammar book I'd never get through it without outside pressure. I'm a little more AD-OS than you, though, so YMMV.
