gingersmom Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 My daughter has a class that the teacher will allow the students to record the lecture. Any recommendations for tape recorder? Last time I did it was over 30 years ago :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regentrude Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Nobody uses tape recorders anymore. Have her use the phone or computer; this way she will have a digital recording. Edited August 28, 2016 by regentrude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Apparently no computers/iPads are allowed in the class. It's a super important class and not sure I trust her with phone not to die or malfunction. Edited August 28, 2016 by gingersmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Digital voice recorder then. Amazon has them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a super important class and not sure I trust her with phone not to die or malfunction. A phone is no more likely to die or malfunction than any other device. And she would also be taking notes, so the recording would be only a backup. Does she really expect she is going to listen to the lecture recording after listening to the actual lecture? She should ask the professor what devices are allowed. Depending on his specific reasons for not allowing computers, he may not allow a phone either, since that has pretty much the same capabilities as a computer Edited August 28, 2016 by regentrude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoggirl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Slightly off-topic... Many moons ago when I was teaching at our local CC, I had a student who recorded my lectures. She did listen back to them for the purpose of filling in items in he notes that she might have missed. She also informed me that I always put her dog right to sleep! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Livescribe is another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joules Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Livescribe is another option. I really like the looks of that, but so far ds has been able to take notes on his phone using AudioNote. Every prof is different, but even in classes with no electronic devices, he has asked and gotten permission to use his phone for notes.

Recordings (particularly of Humanties and Social Sciences) are great if you have a long commute. You can listen again on the ride home, or review the last lecture on the ride to class. Ds and I listened to some of his lectures going back and forth to dual enrollment (where the drive each way was about one lecture in length.) Even in a math class like statistics, you miss some of the concepts while you are trying to scribble down the equations, an auditory learner can catch more in a second listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
