Advice

I have a friend who goes to LIU Brooklyn. They have new systems and technology that allows them to film the lecture and upload it onto a specific site. Students can download these lectures as a source just in case they cannot make it and still need the information. The lecture also shows the slides as an option to aid the speaking part of the lecture. It would be really neat for Baruch to also have some form of system that allows students to rewatch and review lectures that they are not familiar with a certain topic and need to rewatch for better note taking. For example, I have a professor that is foreign. While he is a good professor, his accent on certain words are a little hard to understand from time to time. Being able to rewatch the lectures for clarity in notes would be great. Because the class is only once a week he does not take questions as often as a regular class, so it is hard to have him revisit and restate what he has already said. The class is quite fast paced. Therefore, being able to record and revisit these lectures with YouTube or any other form of new media would be a huge bonus to teacher and for our learning purposes. For example, if a professor knows they cannot make it they could have an online lecture with the students and video call in. Or he could upload a previously made video and send it to students to watch as a lesson.

  1. Hi Michelle,
    I think this is a really great idea. It would definitely help in studying. I think the downside to is it that many students may rely solely on this if attendance is not required in class. A lot of professors go about the idea that you should find a way to get the notes or sort of just deal with it. It would be really great though to look back on these videos especially semesters after the fact so you can review things you may have forgotten.
    Great idea!
