Sorry Srader, lied about not posting today...I made it up to you later on in the post...
Some questions for my badass readers (and sorry if you already use GradeGenie).
What do you do when you missed class for any reason (sick, missed alarm, super hungover, etc...)?
1) If the notes aren't provided on a website by the teacher, like Blackboard at Mizzou, and taking notes is crucial if you want to receive a good grade, do you try and find someone who was in class that day?
2) Assume you don't know anyone in the class well enough to ask them for their notes, how will you go about getting notes to copy?
What if the class you missed was a review that won't be posted on the teacher's website?
Instead of being on of those annoying people who mass email the class listserve for notes and say they were 'sick', you should definately check out GradeGenie. This website is a great resource even if think you don't need it. According to them, "Through the capability of searching, uploading, downloading, and mass collaboration, GradeGenie provides a very convenient and effective way to use supplemental study material."
I've used this website countless times, mainly to download completed study guides or notes from the book that other people have posted. There are a ton of schools listed on there meaning your school is probably included. If yours isn't on there, I'm sure it's not that hard to have put on and then you can form your own marketing campaign for your school to get involved with the site (talking to administrators, recruiting representatives to help spread the word, etc). BTW, I looked up Georgia College and State University for you Elizabeth, and it's listed but there are no notes on there yet. You're still a freshman..maybe you could organize awareness and involvement for it (see above suggestions) and make it popular on your campus. I'm sure the guys on the site have ideas on getting started, too. Just a thought as a resume booster maybe. Anyways, they even have contests to win iTunes cards and other prizes. At Mizzou, they're targeting Greek involvement with a contest to see who can submit the most material and the house that wins receives $300 i think (notes are reviewed by GG staff to ensure quality). Almost every one of my classes has notes listed under, making it a valuable resource for me come test time.
Ok. That's my two cents about this awesome website. Study break over. Back to marketing research studying. 4 hours until my test?? SHIT
Also, have you heard that the bird is the word?
