Headset policy

To stay safe and minimize contact, we recommend all students to bring their own headsets/earbuds for reservations.

Headsets with decent microphones and microphone holders are highly suggested since recording with a mask may reduce recording quality.

DISCLAIMER

Audio/video recordings must be of high quality, considering that students will have a mask on during recordings. We therefore urge everyone to buy one of the recommended models of headset.
