sunshine 2 #1 February 28, 2007 Since so many of us are in college, i have a question for ya'll. How much is too much when it comes to note sharing? I don't mind sharing notes when someone misses a class. However, this particular person has missed 3 classes so far this semester and i don't wanna keep letting her copy my notes. I take excellent notes and am doing very well in class. Am i wrong to say no about letting her copy my notes for the 3rd time? BTW, none of her 3 excuses for missing class were good....no emergency situations. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

Fozz 0 #2 February 28, 2007 Long ago and far away (when we still used slide rules and slates) A guy in one of my early classes abused the help and I told him after the 5th time in 2 weeks that it would be $15 a set (I also found he was just sleeping in which really pissed me off) he paid me 3 times and started showing up for class John Fosgate "In the end, its always best to choose the hard right over the easy wrong."

ladyskydiver 0 #3 February 28, 2007 It depends. True emergency - which in the 2 years I've been back in class, only 1 classmate had a true emergency - no worries...I'll even photocopy my notes for them. If it's my lab partner and she's leaving 'cause she's got to get to work, I have no issues sharing. But if the person is constantly missing class and expecting me to do their notes for them, I either charge them or "forget" my notes.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

I have photocopied my notes for a friend that really was sick as a dog, and she in turn helped me on a class I missed because of kids. We both really worked hard in that class though. I guess if someone was just mooching, I'd try to put an end to it (but I SUCK at telling people 'no'. )~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

sunshine 2 #6 February 28, 2007 QuoteWe both really worked hard in that class though. I guess if someone was just mooching, I'd try to put an end to it She IS mooching. I do most of the work in our labs too. She has cut out of lab class 2 times so far, and missed 3 lectures. The semester has only been going for 6.5 weeks and she's missed this much class. She doesn't care about her grades that much either. Oh, and last time i let her take my notes to photocopy, she let someone else photocopy my notes too. Granted i would've let this other person if asked, but i wasn't asked first. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

ACMESkydiver 0 #8 February 28, 2007 Yeah I think I'm with the people that said charge for your notes. One of two things will happen; either you'll get paid for a note-taking service, or she'll quit asking. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

skybytch 273 #9 February 28, 2007 Once... okay, no big deal. More than that... nope, sorry "I need them so I can study." I had a guy who didn't buy the book ask to borrow mine a couple times. I let him take it for a weekend once, the second time he asked (a week before a test) I said no. He didn't ask again. But then again, I'm a bitch.

TrophyHusband 0 #10 February 28, 2007 its not taking away from your grade, so who cares? if she doesn't care enough to show up to class, her grade will suffer even with your stellar notes. unless its a huge pain to run off a copy, its no skin off your ass. if you do charge her, it should be in the form of beer.

PeterB 0 #11 February 28, 2007 What TrophyHusband said. As long as it isn't affecting your grades or work it's not costing you a dime. But I guess that isn't the point. The point is you're doing hard work and she's just tagging along and getting part of the benefits. That ain't cool if it goes on for long. I'll let friends mooch as much as they want and I'll take the help they offer but unknown people is a different matter. There isn't a basic fundament of mutual respect already in place so different rules apply. Has talking to her about it had any influence on the situation at all?

adventurechick 0 #12 February 28, 2007 Type up your notes really nicely, put it in a nice folder and make a few, send out an e -mail to the whole class saying you'll charge $10.00 per class or a $30.00 packet for all the notes before a test, you'll bank for going to class and taking good notes, and others will benefit from your knowledge and organization. Then you go skydiving with all your newfound money and life is grande. PMS #449 TPM #80 Muff Brother #3860 SCR #14705 Dirty Sanchez #233 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
