Title: Video streamed lecture?
Post by: kcg on January 23, 2018, 07:10:07 pm
Hi everyone!
I'm a first year commerce student trying to timetable on allocate + but I'm a little confused about what preferences to pick.

For my statistics class there are 3 options for my lecture. They're all at the same time on the same day except they're all in different locations and 2 have 'Video Streaming' in the description. What does this mean? Is it a live stream I have to watch from home or a standard recorded lecture you can find online afterwards if you didn't go in person?

Also a lot of people have put down the non streamed lecture as their first preference, so is there a benefit to doing that one instead?

Thanks!!

video streamed is when they have the actual lecture running in a different theatre and the lecture is livestreamed into a different lecture theatre. I think most people would rather be watching the lecturer in person.

Usually people who get allocated into the video streamed lecturer end up just going to the actual one this may cause problems in the first few weeks (for some units people had to sit in the stairways since we were all keen first years :P ) once a few weeks pass less people go to leturers and the video stream is usually removed.
