Yes, its still common for that (now we provide minidisks), but the student attended the lecture as well. Mick seems to be suggesting that students didn't attend when the tapes were available elsewhere.

When I was at university it was quite common for students to put tape recorders on the desk in front of the lecturer.

I'd be interested to know what the take up was for the recorded lectures. If it was a popular resourse perhaps it could be made more widespread. It may just have been a good excuse for undergrads to not attend lectures, without bothering to access the materials in the library.

Subject: Re: lecture notes
I'm sure colleagues will have informatio to share but I think that what you
can expect will vary from subject to subject. For example, some courses such
as Maths, Engineering will involve worked examples during a session, some will
be delivered through a high proportion of group discussion / seminar style
teaching while others will lend themselves more to formal lecture style delivery.
However, I'm encouraged to find that more and more courses are providing
information / supporting notes on-line - though these are not always available
before a lecture - possibly to encourage attendance? My olfdest son said that
when he did his first degree, attendance at lectures was lower when lecturers
made tapes of lectures available in the library.
Like all things, therte is never a clear solution.

<< Has anyone got anything written on what 'lecture notes' actually are.
We ask all the time for copies of lecture notes in advance for many of our
disabled students and occassionally we get into discussions with tutors over
what we actually mean, sometimes they are happy to give copies of the OHT's,
sometimes they have the notes all available online, some have module handbooks
outlining the contents of each lecture. We would like to give the tutors more
information on what is acceptable and also guidance to the students with what
it is reasonable for them to expect.
Anyone have anything they are willing to share? >>
