> Sure, may as well record the professor and no one needs to go to class at all. When I taught CS, I always allowed this with a request to only share it between members of the class. My comment was that I spent the time to tailor things for the class and was generally poorly compensated for such, so please don't impinge on my ability to teach this to people whom I could charge much more for it. Nobody ever shared it beyond the class as far as I could tell. I generally made laptop users sit in the back--the orienting reflex is strong and screen motion is VERY distracting. I also didn't require class attendance; if you were going to watch porn--please just stay home. I did however warn people that the probability was that they were not going to pass the class without attendance. We didn't tend to write programs during class, but we generally went over methods for analyzing problems in order to reduce them to a case you could then write a program for. Of course, I didn't just "read my slides". I tended to draw on the chalkboard while walking through solving various problems and putting things to application.
