Thank you, Janet. This is a very interesting article.
After reading, I decided to use this tomorrow in my INTD110 class (Introduction to Higher Education). I think I will read the article as though it were a lecture
and have the students take notes on it. Perhaps have them make columns such as “successful note taking strategies”, “controversial issues” and “my opinion”.
This also has me thinking about precedent. SDS pays students to take notes for others who have a diagnosed learning disability. What if a student of limited
needs cannot afford to get tested? It can cost anywhere from $300 to much more if psychological testing needs to be done . Or what if they come from a family that would not have them tested because of a feared stigma? Essentially, they are buying a synopsis
of content. What is the difference between buying a peer’s synopsis than any other supplemental course content?
Anyway, there are many great discussion points. Thanks again.
