[nabs-l] Recording Lectures... Not allowed?

[Lora and Myrtle]

I missed the first part of the thread so I don't know what class this is in
reference to. I had a french professor who didn't want us to record his
lectures because he would purposefully speak poor french and then correct it
later on in his lecture. He didn't want us to learn the wrong material and
get confused by his lectures.
