Lecture transcription: record, transcribe, study
Record a lecture that transcribes well
- Sit near the front, or place your phone near the lecturer if you are allowed.
- Use the lecture capture recording if your course publishes one; it is usually clearer than a phone.
- Questions from the back of the room are often too quiet to transcribe well. Note them by hand.
