I am a north campus major and about half of my classes have been video/audio recorded.

A word of warning though, if a professor requests that you do not record his/her lectures do yourself a favor and abide by their wishes. I have had a couple of classes where the professor has asked that students not record and they do it anyway. If you get away with it, it is fine I suppose, but if you get caught …

Some professors are very sensitive about the possibility their lectures getting out and are quite serious about it. We had one professor give a very stern warning when he realized some people were secretly recording. For those not from California (and even for those who are), California is a two party consent state, making it a crime to record someone without consent of all parties. So just get permission!
