Perfect GPA

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Have you ever had a professor who talks really fast during his or her lecture and you are unable to keep up taking notes?

How about a professor who speaks such broken English that you are unable to understand what he or she is saying half of the time?

Or how ever been in a situation where you are so tired, sleepy, hungover, or your mind is completely in another dimension and you are not paying attention in class?

I have been in all of the above situations during my college career.  It very was frustrating taking notes, and I decided I needed a “crutch” to eliminate some of that frustration.  The crutch was a digital voice recorder, and it was the second best investment I made in college following a laptop computer.  I always carried the voice recorder in my backpack and whenever I had a professor that lectured fast, had broken English, or I was just not feeling good, I always recorded the lecture for later use.  After class I skimmed through the digital recording of the lecture and finished the notes I was missing.  Sometimes I listened through the whole lecture again, and it worked wonders.  I was able to retain much more information, fast forward or rewind to concepts I didn’t understand, and even email the lecture to classmates when they asked for it.

Before purchasing the digital voice recorded I did a lot of research.  Sony voice recorders seemed to have the best reviews, so I purchased an earlier version of the Sony ICD-BX800, which is pretty cheap now running around $40 on Amazon.  You can check it out here.
