<p>I have a few questions about the DSP note taking job:
-Is there an interview that you have to do, or is it just filling out the application?
-In a lecture of about 60 or 70, how competitive is it to become the one note-taker they choose?
-How flexible are they on the GPA? I'm right on the borderline of the required GPA.</p>
<p>Don’t know if there’s an interview, but it kind of works out first come first hired for notetaking.</p>
<p>Usually the lecturer will make an announcement that a note taker for the class is needed.</p>
<p>If you’re in the DSP notetaking pool, you hear that, and you immediately contact dsp to accept. They’ll grab whomever gets their first.</p>
<p>Always best to give students notes in typewritten form and be as clear and concise as you can. You have to turn in notes timely and be a good note-taker. If you don’t, the dsp student can request another notetaker. That usually happens if the notetaker takes rank notes or doesn’t turn them in on time.</p>
<p>At the end of the semester, the dsp student rates the notetaker. For quality control.</p>
<p>Your notetaking that helps students with disabilities to thrive is way more important than your personal gpa, but obviously they need a student with a relatively static gpa to confirm they understand the material – what info is important vs what isn’t.</p>
<p>yeah, that sounds right.</p>
<p>I’m in dsp, and my notetakers suck so badly. Seriously, I take 5 pages notes and then I look online to find half a page of notes. That stuff is crazy. apply, get it, even if your notes suck it doesn’t matter. No one will complain or get in the way of ur moolah.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t understand why people who can’t take notes apply/are hired. My handwriting is beautiful, and I take all the notes for my students. But to answer your question, I’ve been hired like every semester I applied except I think 2 semesters or something. There is no interview, you just send in a sample of your notes. I don’t think they look at gpa, but I’m not sure. If they do, mine’s a little low and I’ve still been hired.</p>
