When I was in school? You could use a tape recorder for lectures in class. Most classes were Lectures. If people want to listen to the lectures without the tuition? More power to them. You can't gain class credit for doing that. Not much to gain or lose there.
There are lectures on youtube already. Have been there for years now.
Some professors are okay with it -- others aren't.
They had a mother in a news article recently. She was under the impression her child was being bullied by the teacher. So, she placed a recorder in the backpack. THIS was after she brought her concerns to the powers that be - and was swiftly blown off by the school. Yep, now they want to charge her with a crime. So, they didn't want to listen to her or have proof given to them either. In elementary school? Who are they going to take the word of? Teacher or child if they were not given anything? Chances are teacher.
If I think my neighbor is doing something illegal, do I have the right to break into his house looking for evidence?
Illegal is still illegal... Catch-22, I'm afraid.
So, how you prove your point to the school then? Do we depend upon 'he said she said'?
Sometimes that's all we have to go on for cases such as rape -- you know, an actual crime?
Schools have administrations - whom I feel are the bigger problem than the teachers most of the time - are going to circle the wagon because that's what they do most of the time. Less effort for them.
Well, there's a solution -- forget about who said what and go on your feelings...
How would you suggest rooting them out - the ideologies? I found most professors are very good. Then you do have some whack a doodles.
Why would the whack a doodles need "rooting out"? Seems they'd be pretty easy to spot.
Yeah. No. Not what I meant at all. lol nice leap there! Legitimate professors aren't going to care, because people record their lectures for notes anyway. I did that in school too. I took notes, and listened to the lecture again to adjust them. It's not like this wasn't standard practice. Maybe something has changed since then, but it was no biggie when I was in college.
Legitimate professors have varying opinions on the subject -- Of course, I'm sure any professor who refuses will be under extra scrutiny...
College lectures aren't something they are going to put on their IPod as part of their favorite playlist.
You'd be surprised... Barnes and Noble had an entire series of "Portable Professor" CDs not too long ago... I've got a few of them on my phone now... helpful on long drives.
