"I've seen other students using recorders in lecture. Whats that all about? Can I record lectures? What would I do with the recordings and would it help me?"Recording lectures is a great study tool for folks who learn best by hearing things or want to review the lecture later. Here are a few other things to keep in mind when you want to record lectures:
Get the OK. Double check your school's policies on recording lectures and always, always, always ask the instructor's permission first.
Get the right equipment. If you are going to buy your own recording device, get something that meets your needs and fits your budget. Also check if your campus offers any recorder check-out services before you buy one. You can also see if something you already own can do the job, like an mp3 player or laptop capable of recording; Once you have your recorder, make sure that you know how to use it well before bringing it to class to avoid any technical difficulties.
Use it wisely. Listen to recorded lectures when you are reviewing your notes and use them to fill in any blanks you may have missed the first time. It is also handy to keep track of when key topics come up in the recording and mark the time in your notes.
Recording lectures is a great study option, especially if you tend to learn things better from hearing it or feel like you are missing information during lectures. Happy recording!
