Content
- Feel free to reword and reorganize the material for clarity. The aim is to produce a clear set of notes, not an exact transcript of what the professor says.
- Add other links and references.
Sharing
- ‘’Tell the class (and the professor!) that you’re typing up notes.’’ (Don’t be embarrassed; after all, they’re the ones benefiting.) Sometimes the professor may link to your notes. If the professor has partial notes, it’s a good idea to ask for the source code to avoid repeating work; be clear about what you intend to do with it.
- Ask for people to email typos. Fix them promptly and give them a hearty thank-you.
- Make source code available. This way, when you’re finished, others may build on it – to annotate with their own notes, or to update it for subsequent years’ courses.
- Solicit help: See if anyone else is interested in helping out; if so, split the work.
