Post by: lani.c29 on February 05, 2011, 10:03:07 pm

Are the lectures recorded and then posted on the uni website or are students required to record lectures?? if so, how are people recording lectures? particular software?

I dont think students record lectures, recording audio is in itself illegal without consent, and since attendance isnt taken at lectures I wouldn't imagine any exemption

Some lectures are. The lecturer will tell you in the first lecture whether (s)he/s recording it or not. If it is being recorded, you can access them via the lms.

All will be explained in due time.

My boyfriend sat in on one of my subjects every Monday afternoon last year and recorded the monotonous lecturer on his macbook and then turned her lectures into an autotuned rap.
Fun study.

I can confidently tell you this:

That all (if not, then 99%) of maths lectures are not recorded.  And the notes are also not put up on the Learning Management System (LMS) as rustic_metal pointed out about the LMS.

Commerce related subjects do have audio recordings, at least for Introductory Microeconomics and Introductory Macroeconomics.
