Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
How about offering her notes for sex? I don't think it's an unreasonable proposition; she's likely to refuse...problem solved.

Also, if anyone asks me for notes, I just tell them that I get them all from ecasebriefs.

If it's a case of GV syndrome, just explain you can't, in good conscience, enable her. Help those who help themselves.

Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
Things to consider: OP, assuming your gunnerificness translate into performance at OCI, you'll be missing days worth of classes Fall of 2L year. But you know who won't be missing class then? The dummy who didn't take her own notes 1L and proceeded to strike out at OCI. Assuming you shared notes 1L, you now have a third-rate note taker from whom you can get notes from.

Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
Just say: "You know what a beautiful animal is? A horse. Yeah, with a beautiful mane. Unbelievable muscle tone. When it runs it looks like poetry in motion. It's the most beautiful thing on earth. Sometimes when you feed a horse, its lips will tickle your hand...just tickle it just a little bit. It makes me giggle sometimes. (giggle for effect) I don't know.....I guess what I'm trying to say is.....if you ask for my notes again without actually having put in your own work......I'm gonna bite into your head like an apple. Thanks for listening to my horse story. I could talk about ponies all day long."

Has anyone suggested first asking for sex? You should do that.

lolol
I purposely tried not to sound like myself out of paranoia that she would read this (although that would actually solve my problems). Anyway, I'm amused that everyone assumed I was male.

Smile, say you'll email them that night, never do it.
When she asks again, smile, say you'll email them soon, never do it.
Rinse and repeat as necessary. 3-4 times should do the trick.

Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
I could not agree with you more. There is absolutely no reason to care about sharing information. My section has an outline and note bank just in case anyone needs something they missed...pretty sure we're unique in this though.vamedic03 wrote:I freely share my notes with anyone I know and I'll send my outlines to anyone I know if they need them.

Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
Really? Random people have offered to send me their entire semester's worth of notes at various times this year......and my only excuse for missing classes is having a ton of callbacks + being really lazy in October (have missed about 60% of my classes).dood wrote:ok for serious: as someone who skips approx 1/3 of my classes, even my best friends will say, "dood, if u'r sick or something no problem; and i can give u a couple freebies, but im not taking notes for u just so u can sleep in 3 days outta the week"
and i respect that b/c its the truth.
What kind of gunner hellholes do you guys attend? Dang.
Edit: unless you're all 1Ls. I understand being pissy about notes as 1Ls.

It is badass to share notes with anybody who asks. You get to think, "now you have all of my information and I will STILL do better than you."

Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
Frankly I ask for notes/outlines from my friends all the time. I did not do this as a 1L, but as 3L evening student, I am just tired of this sh*t, it feels like the same thing over and over again. Moreover the knowledge is absolutely useless to my long-term career that I work on during the day. The best way to avoid these situations is to form a good relationship with other person. If they are polite to me when I am in need, I respond to their kindness by trying to be proactive in trying to help them out. When I locate good outlines from previous classes I pass it off to them or ask them if they are taking any class of which I have outlines for. Frankly the fact that one person does well out 40-90 people is not going to really affect you grade. Yes a few weirdos don't reciprocate the help the get but the vast majority of people will go out of there way to help you.

Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
Coming from the other side: i'm too scared to ask for notes even though I have a legitimately good reason for missing a ton of classes. I just hate being "that guy", because a persons notes are a product of THEIR hard work and attendance, and it feels weird asking them to let you reap the benefit without having to share the effort.

Re: How do you politely refuse to share notes?
Every time I have shared something with someone, they have helped me by, say, fleshing out a weak element of my understanding or otherwise giving me something back. If she found one hole in your understanding, it would be worth it. Not sharing/swapping info is a great way to only know what you do now.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
