listening to lectures at home

[Gloamglozer]

I found that listening to a two hour microeco lecture actually took around 4 hours because I kept pausing the lecture and taking "internet breaks".

sigh.

I've only missed on lecture and it was really boring so I just listened to it in fast forward.  Chipmunks for the win.

yeah I listen to every commerce lecture at home, for maths ones I don't even bother to listen to the lectures (the lecturers are pretty shit as well...). I find listening to lectures at home is so much more efficient than going to lectures.

I end up playing spider solitaire if I listen at home... but if I go to boring lectures, I end up sleeping.

It COULD be good if you're one of the 0.000000001% of students who are actually motivated enough to catch up on the lectures afterwards... especially if your lecturer speaks slowly because you can fast forward and skip over the breaks. It doesn't seem like much time saved, but it does add up.

Last semester (as usual -_-) I didn't go to any of my law lectures, and managed to get through 13 weeks x 3 hours worth in 3 days because I fast-forwarded and skipped the 10-minute breaks. But that was because it was a week before the exam and I was panicking and living on caffeine...

I will have to lectopia 12 out of my 36 Bionanoengineering lectures this semester due to an unfortunate timetable clash that the university cannot fix

But last semester I listened to the majority of the audio recordings for my 2nd year chemistry subject; would've preferred to be in the actual lectures but because of timetable clashes....

I find recorded lectures even more boring than being there, I don't know why. I get really bored and frustrated listening on the computer, and end up skipping through the last half hour or so. I had a clash once, and needed to listen to the recordings of one class, and it lasted about 2 weeks or so because he lecturers were AWFUL.

On this note, don't listen to lectures in bed (or do, if you have insomnia lol)

How could you not love Leo or Andrew Prentice? The only reason I went to the MTH2010 lectures last week was to hear some of the famous Prenticisms

[TrueTears]

lol i love leo, i was more aiming at the old lecturer for the mth2010 lecture, can't explain anything properly...

He can explains some things well, but I'm more talking about his craziness. I'm one of the people in the front row cracking up laughing at the end of every lecture so far
