1. 1 Record your lectures. Florida law says so

   FAU's guidance under Florida Statute 1004.097: "No, students do not need to ask for permission to record the class lecture IF they are making the recording for one of the permitted purposes" — including personal educational use. It covers lectures, not labs, class discussion, student presentations or exams, and recordings "may not be published or shared in any way without the lecturer's written consent".

2. 2 Cheat twice and you are expelled

   "In the case of a repeat offense, even if the notation of violation of the Code of Academic Integrity from the first offense had been expunged from the official transcript after successful completion of the Academic Integrity Seminar, the student will be expelled from the University."

5. 5 Record the lecture — Gus makes the notes, flashcards and quiz

   Gus is an AI college companion built around your actual classes. Record a lecture and it writes the notes, pulls out the key topics, builds a flashcard deck, and makes a practice quiz from what was actually said. The flashcards come back on a spaced-review schedule, so the thing you missed shows up again right before you would have forgotten it. It is free to try.
