Comment university-provided notes (Score 2, Informative) 144
i know that at my uni, if you've got a good reason for not being able to come to a lecture, then the lecturer will provide notes for you. i've never had a "good" reason though (hangovers don't count, apparently)
i use an ipod with a griffin italk, it works fantastically. i'm told it's better than the belkin, particularly the inbuilt speaker. having a copy of the lecture, along with the notes i jot at the time, helps a lot when exam time comes, i find.
