The best thing about the recorded lectures was: Most of test material was in the lecture. Seemed like I was getting face-time with professor even though it was an online class The best thing was being able to pause or go back. In a normal lecture, you cannot do that. The worst thing about the recorded lectures was: I couldn't ask questions right away, I had to wait until class if I didn't understand material. Since we didn't have a face-to-face lecture, I found myself procrastinating and putting off watching the lecture videos until a later date. Learning Technology Services Inspiring Innovation.
