<p>Can my voice recorder be of any use at UCSD?</p>
<p>only if you use it</p>
<p>no, don’t bring it.</p>
<p>I’m gonna buy this cool digital one which allows you to upload whatever you record to your computer/laptop. I guess it would help me with lectures, but if it doesn’t, I still get a cool digital recorder 8]</p>
<p>You need to have your instructor’s consent prior to recording him or her.</p>
<p>Unless you like listening to your professor more than once (I try to get the job done the first time), then no.</p>
<p>The only reason you might possibly need it is if you fall asleep in class chronically or the professor is incomprehensible and you have a lot of (what the f* did he just say?) moments.</p>
<p>Also, some professors make podcasts of their lectures</p>
<p>Hoeger uploads podcast of his lecture, and while I have to admit it’s useful when I don’t go to class and for last-minute lecture reviews, I hated having to listen to that SOB’s voice any more than I have to.</p>
<p>I also find it difficult to set aside time to dedicate another hour or more to just listening to a podcast. It’s good to hear a snippet or two, but the whole thing over is daunting.</p>
