Maybe it's just me, but I cannot see myself using another person's notes and getting much from them.
Can anyone speak to this practice and how common/necessary it is?
Sorry, but I'm getting the 11th hour jitters. I move into my apartment on Monday, so it finally seems like all this is finally becoming a reality! I just looked at the orientation schedule and got a case of butterflies before bed...
A lot of times what they're passing around is older students' near-transcripts from previous years. Professor like to ask the same questions, and the right answer is usually right in there, like a movie script. I don't know how common it is, but some students definitely use them just to get by in Socratic.
And orientation is the fun part...

This is kind of like grades, not something talked about in polite company.

But I'd guess 15-25 from limited anecdotal evidence.
