First Class Notes

the scene:
fall semester, senior year. overloaded with six classes and a thesis, something had to give. and that something was my attendance at elizabethan shakespeare. i mean, it was a huge lecture in scott 135. i didn’t really like shakespeare but i had to take the class to finish my minor. we just went over the plays, which i read, and the exams came from the notes. why not just get the notes without having to go to class? that’s where first class notes comes in. when i was at the rut it was $ 50 for a semester-​long pass for you to pick up notes — otherwise i think it’s pro-​rated with the amount of notes you get (i.e. $ 25 for notes up to the midterm or something like that).
my boyfriend made fun of me mercilessly for using this, but it was actually very helpful. he seemed to equate it to cheating, but it really isn’t. it’s not like you’re buying previous exams or something. it’s like you’re borrowing notes from a friend that just so happens to charge you $ 50 for the privilege. and it helped me get an A so i can’t complain!
