best video camera for recording lectures image
Josephine
I'm going to be a junior premed student. I've already asked my professors if it would be ok to record during lectures, and they said its fine. Over the summer I took a Physics class and video recording the lectures to review later really helped with studying.
The only problem is that the battery of my camcorder only lasts about two hours before dying. Is there a camcorder out there that has a longer battery life? I had my camera on the lowest video quality setting and the battery still depleted.
I'm taking organic chemistry, Japanese I, animal physiology, and anatomy, and I want to record all of these classes (about 4 hours total recording time per day). Any options on better camcorders?

Speaking as one who has retired from a professional career in medicine, I can agree that technology is always tempting, However, you can misuse it too. Even if your professors do not mind being recorded, you are still going to divert your attention far too often from what they are saying in favour of your recording process. In effect you are going to spend twice as long in the learning process, and then where is the rest of your social life?
Do yourself a favour and learn to take notes with a high-tech writing implement and a high-tech paper notebook. Good luck with your studies, and try to avoid buying lots of spare batteries and memory cards.

What is the most efficient way to record class lectures? Ipod?

I don't have an ipod, but I was thinking about buying one for the purpose of recording lectures in some challenging classes this semester. Is the cheapest ipod nano $149? That's what the apple website says. How much would the appliance to record voices cost??
Is there another way I could record lectures other than with a tape recorder that would be less expensive than an ipod?
Answer
if you're not allowed to have cellphones or anything,
my school is like that. if you have a camera with sound,
just put it in your purse while its on video.
