<p>Is it ok? Should I ask profs first? I don't think profs can see me cuz there are hundreds of people in the hall. </p>
<p>I used recorder before. However, it's pretty useless, cuz most profs use powerpoints and models to teach thing.</p>

<p>You should try asking first.</p>
<p>um... i don't mean for this to be offending but... </p>
<p>why can't you just sit through lecture and take notes like everybody else? i see no reason for you or anyone to need a recorder let alone a camcorder for lectures...</p>
<p>lol that would be hilarious if you videotape the lecture. and yes you should ask the professor first.</p>
<p>shirley,</p>
<p>You must absolutely positively ask permission. Not only is it common courtesy, it's a legal issue in the minds of some.</p>

A lot of people in my class bring recorders. The table in the front is coverd with recorders during every lectures. They even record what TA said during tutorial. I think most people in my major are just like me - sucks note-taking skill. I compared my notes with all the recordings, and I found out I missed a lot of important stuffs. Also, when you are listening your recording and hear your prof said look at that model. It's so pointless. </p>
<p>I really need to have videos of my classes. Everything is so sucks. I can't find my prof cuz too many people are asking questions. And TAs are hardly available cuz a lot of selfish students ask DIFFERENT TAs the same questions over and over again, from NINE in the morning to THREE in the afternoon. I so want to say, "bit___ch, I've paid for my tuition too!" Besides buying a camcorder, I need to find my own private tutor too.</p>

<p>What kind of reason should I use? :(
Do you think prof can see me using a camcorder among hundreds of students?</p>
<p>^^ what she said.</p>
<p>my math 31b class had recorded lectures online. it was nice knowing that they would be available if i had to miss lecture for some reason. but i never re-watched lectures that i went to. </p>
<p>theres many many more productive things you can do rather than watch the lecture over. reading the book would be a start. or doing practice problems. or goto office hours. or goto discussion and ask your TA. or goto your TA's office hours. or ask a friend. or goto covel/drop in tutoring (if its a math/science class).</p>
<p>shirley,</p>
<p>The best reason? Honesty. Just say that you feel that you're having a tough time and would like to review the lectures. The worst thing that could happen is that the professor says no. </p>
<p>However, do no try to skirt it. If the professor says no, cut your losses and move on.</p>
<p>Ari, use your powers and merge the threads! :p</p>
<p>hmm...I'm thinking either buy a camcorder or find a private tutor.</p>
<p>what class is it?</p>
<p>I don't want to tell what class is it, but it belongs to chem and biochem. It's an impacted class.</p>
<p>I think 1/3 of students are form community colleges. I took classes in three CCCs before, and I met over 10-20 people from these CCCs, just from that class.</p>

<p>I didn't even notice it. Done.</p>
<p>It's so nice having a personal UCLA moderator....</p>
<p>....most of the time :p</p>
<p>I think a tutor might be a better investment than a camcorder.</p>
<p>Seriously.</p>
<p>If you bring a camcorder to a Political Science professor's lecture, he/she might suspect you of being a mole for the neo-conservative Bruin Alumni Association. :rolleyes:</p>
