If you are ever taken to court because you shot someone in self-defense it is part of your defense that you are not some yahoo cowboy with a gun but somebody who took their personal protection seriously and acted appropriately. It is another level of proof you actually attended the class. I'm speaking generically here but I would not be surprised if there are instructors who only have records of who signed up and paid for a class. They may not have a record of you actually attending. It also gives the instructor a chance to review what you wrote down and correct anything that is wrong since he is putting his signature on it. The instructor can also add any comments at that time such as what I did well or what I should work on. It is evidence that you took your training seriously - you took notes on what was taught, what you did, what you used, and then gave the instructor a chance to add his input.
