If you learned about a topic via an unrecorded classroom lecture (in-person or online) cite the lecture as a personal communication. Personal communication citations are used when a recoverable source is not available. Because readers cannot retrieve the information in personal communications, they are not included in the reference list; they are cited in the text only. (Publication manual, 2020, section 8.9)
