I'm currently taking a summer class of history, and I was wondering if it's illegal to record the lectures in class. I was talking to my friend about how I'm going to record my classes so I don't miss anything, and all of sudden he says, "It's illegal, you know."
It's for personal use, and I don't intend to sell it or share it. It's just for me. Any answers will be appreciated.
Thank you guys so much!

And if it isn't illegal, do I have to ask the teacher to see if she's okay with the recording?

You must ask permission first or it may violate copyright law, not to mention wiretapping law. Most professors will agree to it, especially if you tell them you would like to listen during class and make notes later. However, some professors won't let you because they think you will share it with others. Also, some universities have policies against it, so you should be aware if you'd be breaking any university/school rules that could result in disciplinary action.

Technically their lectures are their belongings and that they might probable sue you or a minimum of subject you to punishment during the college of a few type, yet maximum instructors do not probably care adequate to do something approximately you in simple terms recording for inner maximum use and doubtless promoting it or allotting it to somebody else it is taking the class. making use of those notes in a paper and not bringing up them or asking permission first is plagiarism nevertheless. quite often of thumb my pals and that i continuously ask the professor's permission formerly taping their lectures and then they lay out the floor rules.

I can think of no law that might prevent it...[copyright protection? ], but it's up to the instructor to allow.
I've been in classes where students record lectures-
when do you find time to review?

With permission of the instructor -- legal.
Without permission of the instructor -- illegal. (common law copyright violation)

Nope, I know of people who did it. But you usually have to ask the professors because sometimes they don't allow it. Best of luck!
