 So do I really need to go to lectures? I enjoy going to lectures. You basically pay for them when you come to uni, so you might as well utilise them. It's really good because you can communicate with your peers, you can communicate with lecturers. My course is actually practicals and tutorials so I'm 100% here for them. Once I didn't go, I didn't watch them online and that sort of spirals into becoming behinds of my work. There's a lot more to gain out of going physically but there is a really great backup if that's not possible. This is the way you can view the lectures from online back at home on your computer. I look at the lecture, I can pause, I can write my notes and all that, I can rewind. That's the great thing, you miss one, you can catch up online so you're not always behind. It gets uploaded I believe an hour after.
