Like Charlotte Manley (below), I have upper level students, I post my
lectures (most of them), and I think the only problem is with the
minimizers and class-cutters who imagine they can do it all in a few days
before the exams. My live lecture always differs in detail from the posted

I struggle with this issue. It seems that when I give out my notes

that you never mentioned a topic in class when they have all of the notes in
front of them.
Advantages: Because the students are not taking down no
