It's interesting to me that no one had a cassette recorder in class. When I was working on my degree in the mid 90s nearly everyone had a recorder on their desk while they were taking notes. I didn't record every class or even every lecture, I focused mostly on the topics/lectures where I had difficulties. If I 'got it' I usually recorded over that tape.
I may even have a box of them somewhere around here in the barn.

Not too surprising given that a cassette tape in the 70's cost several dollars (equivalent to maybe $20 today). It was so expensive it simply didn't occur to people to record such things. It's like photos. The cheapest 35mm photo cost a buck an image, and this was for slides, not prints. It's why photos of my college career are nearly non-existent. And movie film - forget about it.
