<p>Do most students write down their notes or do many tape their instructors lecture?</p>
<p>Yes, though I didn’t find many students taping lectures in first year classes. It only became really important when I started my first year of pharmacy (P1) though it was needed to some degree during my second pre-professional year due to this one professor… </p>
<p>If the professors don’t use textbooks, it’s important to get all the details down. During these classes, you’ll find a table in the front with 40 or so recorders.</p>
<p>it pretty much only happens in science classes</p>
<p>both…i take notes (just because i don’t have a recorder), but some people record. my bio professor talks too fast to keep up with even by typing, so there are usually a lot of recorders up front.</p>
