Become a Notetaker

The Disability Resource Centre (DRC) is looking for committed notetakers to provide thorough and comprehensive notes for students who are registered with the DRC. Notetakers are paid a stipend for their notes over the duration of the term per 3-credit course.  This pay is for the time spent outside of class proofreading and editing the notes so that they are clear for the recipient prior to uploading.

Peer Notetaker Responsibilities

  • Take accurate, complete, comprehensive, and legible notes for every in-person, asynchronous and synchronous lecture.
  • Notes for all lectures must be typed with the exception of formulas, graphs and diagrams.
  • Notes must be uploaded to the Notetaker Module within 24 hours of the lecture.
  • Begin uploading notes within one day of your hire date (or start of term).
  • Upload notes from previous lectures if hired after the term has commenced.
  • Contact a classmate for supplementary notes in the event of a missed lecture.
  • Address concerns or problems with the Notetaker Administrator as they arise.

Benefits of notetaking:

  • Paid position
  • Valuable experience for your resume
  • Notetakers report that their notes and grades improve while in this position
