<p>I read somewhere you can purchase lecture notes for certain professors. I believe at one of the book stores they pay top students to take notes and they print them to resell to the students. I was just curious if anyone has purchased any of these lecture notes, because some of these professors talk really fast and are hard to understand. At least, if you had that you could pay more attention in class. I can comprehend better if I am listening and not writing at the same time, but that is probably just me.</p>
<p>Some professors have lecture notes available online. Before you spend money find out if it's free.</p>
<p>I agree with EAdad. Most of my professors have lecture notes online.</p>
<p>Off campus downtown somewhere there is a place that sells them. HOWEVER, the professors look down on this practice. They are printed on bright red paper and he/she should NEVER take them to class. One did in my D anatomy class and from then on no one passed a test. SO beware. Some profs do have notes. My advice is to get 3 people in your class to band together.....share notes as 3 heads are better than one. One student knitted the whole class and the prof was waiting to burn her on the tests...she had the highest grade b/c she was REALLY listening. Another trick is to immedately after class sit down and fill in holes that you remember when you read over .....the academic assistance center may have help for these issues.</p>
<p>this is probably a dumb idea...how do u know the person that took the notes wasn't a lazy student who just jotted down key facts, but not the important details?</p>
<p>Everyone knows that the frats/soro have been doing this for years. They have a test bank and a note bank that their members use. Gives them a leg up. This note service is supposed to supplement not replace attendance. A better idea though is to get a note partner to exchange notes with daily or weekly.</p>
<p>I, too, used the "Red Notes" for the aforementioned anatomy class. The class was not exactly riveting, it was an 8 AM summer class, and since the notes were available for $20 on Franklin, attendance was always low. The professor never seemed to care if people had the notes (they were openly displayed), he only yelled at people for talking during class. I wouldn't recommend this class, red notes or not.</p>
