What do you think of professors podcasting their lectures?

Eric Yoon, EECS senior

It’s a good service for people who miss class, miss a detail, or who can’t write fast enough. People will still go to class because the visual aids are helpful.

Samir Mikati, CEE junior

Well, from my roommate’s experience, it’s a bad idea because you can’t be as focused as you are in the classroom, and you can’t interact with others.

Jay Kim, BioE junior

It’s a good idea. I would use it, but I don’t have an iPod. My lectures are in the afternoon so I would still go to them. But if I had an 8 a.m. class, I probably wouldn’t.

On Yi Lam, IEOR junior

That would be great, though none of my professors are doing it. I was actually thinking about starting my own podcasting station with music, talk, whatever I felt like.
