Good jobs on Campus? Note-taking? $40? Hard to keep up with class?

It’s $40… per unit? Great. Here I thought that was the weekly rate.
Lecture=3 hrs per week, discussion=1–that’s 4 hours a week of note taking. Multiplied by what, 15 weeks a semester? That’s 75 hours of note taking, which evens out to… TWO DOLLARS AN HOUR; I make 8x that hourly rate doing a basic student job on campus.

I would only recommend doing this if you’re doing it out of the kindness of your heart, or naturally transcribe the entire lecture. I only take minimal notes, but seeing as it’s for a person who can’t take any, I’ll have to force myself to write each and every word the professor says. I’m guessing DSP is seriously under-funded, so I’ll do it anyway.

If you’re doing this because you want a job, I would just do ASUC lecture notes–or use Callisto.
