Re: Website for sharing notes and outlines
I am curious to hear some more opinions on this..
Would you be more encouraged to post outlines if you didn't have to identify school/professor?
Would you be less encouraged using an outline not tailored to your professor?
Would posting anonymously change your opinion at all?
As a side note, I've added the ability to browse by class, professor or school.

I think they should all be posted by book. No school, no professor. Just my opinion though. The professor school thing is helpful, but my argument is the same as with the grade thing. The outline should just be a base...

But what material the professors choose to focus on is so variable...outlines not keyed to particular professors would be about as useful as buying a commercial outline. Wouldn't we want this to be more useful than that?Aqualibrium wrote:jodubs wrote:I am curious to hear some more opinions on this..

I agree and disagree. With outlines keyed to a specific book, all the basic info is there. For example, I got a health law outline from outline depot that was keyed to the book my professor used, but not to my professor (this professor had never even taught before). The outline covered every chapter of the book except one. My professor didn't cover one of the chapters that the outline covered, and also covered one of the chapters that the outline didn't cover. I simply took notes in comment boxes for each heading and case in the outline to emphasize what the slant my professor took on things. My weekly review entailed me working my comments into the outline itself. I removed the stuff that we didn't need, added the stuff that needed to be. Probably saved myself 60+ hours of work by having something that was a base of everything that could possibly be covered in that book, and ended up with a finished product that was uniquely my own.
When an outline covers the book, there just isn't that far your professor can go away from there. Anything he adds or takes away can easily be accounted for by you. You aren't supposed to take the outline, unedited into an exam with you (in fact, many schools outright ban this in their honor codes). It's not supposed to be something you can just read over and know the whole class from without paying attention to your professor for yourself. That's why I think it's unnecessary to have more than a designation of what book the outline follows. A good outline covers each case, note cases,and problems in a book with sufficient detail (but not too much) so as to give you a solid base to work from.
Maybe make the prof and school optional?

Re: Website for sharing notes and outlines
Re: the privacy issue I raised- I might feel more comfortable submitting an outline with my school and professor info if I went to a school like GULC, NU, or Fordham where there are a fair amount of TLSers. It would be easier to remain anon if I weren't (probably) the only one from my school uploading stuff.
So I guess what I'm saying is maybe I'm in the minority in being afraid that professors/classmates/school staff would identify me. I certainly understand why having school and professor info attached to each outline would make them more useful.

Very impressive. I uploaded all my outlines. However, they're not showing up under "My Account," where it still says zero submissions. However, they are showing up here: --LinkRemoved--.

Re: Website for sharing notes and outlines
Thanks for all the recent submissions. Having not checked the page in a while due to orientation, I was about to write it off until I just now saw a bunch of submissions from some TLS users. Like I said earlier, this is a community resource and if there are any features you all want added or changed (within reason), let me know and I'll try to work it out.
