Entry 7: Tape Recording the Lecture

In most cases, tape-recording lectures forces us to listen to the same lecture again, hence wasting time and not gaining anything more than if we had just paid attention and taken better quality notes during class.
Advantages of tape recording are : It can help us to relax and listen more carefully to what is being said and to take better notes. It can can be useful to clarify parts of the lecture.
Disadvantages of tape recording are: Sometimes it fails to record and we miss the whole lecture, sound could be very poor, we must ask permission of the instructor to record their lecture, students rely to much to their tape-recorder and don't concentrate well in the lecture. So, Even with so many disadvantages, tape-recorder is the good thing which can help is in our study.
