YOU are responsible for getting the tape and disk after the lecture. It is critical that you retain an electronic backup copy of notes on your own disk or hard drive. Disk failures or word processing programs that cannot be supported or converted may contribute to an inability to upload and distribute notes. Only typed notes will be accepted. Outlining is not allowed.
Spoken language is much different than written language.
Lecturers often speak in broken fragments - it is the responsibility of the transcriber to produce complete, intelligent sentences. Remember, you are the only person in the class with a tape of the lecture. It is up to you to re-create the lecture for your classmates. Your classmates expect to concisely gather everything mentioned and emphasized in class. Please keep in mind that everyone learns differently and if you leave out details, your classmates will notice.
