I am very serious about my Fine Arts class, therefore, I come 2 class everyday and take notes. So far, I have gotten A's on every tests that I have taken. The problem is that finals are coming, and people who never spoke 2 me are know trying 2 be my best friends. The fall semester of college started in August, and now all of these randome people are trying 2 be my friends. I have even had randome people email me and ask me for my note. So, here is where the problem comes in. A girl asked me for my notes and I gave her my notes, but the only problem is that I gave her the incorrect notes on purpose. I mean... they did include some of the materail we went over, but alot of the info was incorrect. I have noticed, that she is only befriending me 2 get my notes and share it with the class. It pisses me off when people come 2 class, sign the roll and leave and now they want my notes. Do u think I was wrong for what i did? I feel justified! If I have 2 come 2 class and study, they should 2.

This is girl is not desperately trying 2 be my friend. She never even realized I was in class until finals started coming up. Now... I have all of these random people whom I dont even know contacting me via email in order 2 get help. They habitually sign the roll and leave. I mean like every single day, and then they want some pity from me. I dont think so! If they can party and screw around then they can bring their asses 2 class.

Okay, so maybe you'll feel bad when the girl gets her exam back and gets a big fat F, but hey, that's the work she's put out and that's what she got back!! Besides, you gave her SOME of the material, and that's alot better than not knowing exams were coming at all. Who knows, maybe she'll even get a D minus! :D

I do not think anyone but you can answer if what you did was right or wrong but you. I can understand how you would feel after you have gone and made a complete effort and why you would resent someone trying to benefit from your work. I am afraid that you will find this to be a somewhat common occurrence in life. But if it is any conciliation to you, whet er you give them the correct notes, refuse to give them the notes or give them the incorrect notes; those people are so shallow and lazy they will not be of competition to you anyway. They do not have the stamina or drive to compete. The underlying question seems to be an inner one, and no matter how many answers you receive you must make that decision for yourself. What makes your feel good about you; then you go from there and it will be a decision you can feel good about and live with.

I admire the fact that you can see these pretenders for what they are, but knowingly handing her the incorrect notes was wrong. I would tell her that it's up to her to get her own notes, and her own results. As for the notes that you gave to her, let her know that you aren't sure if they are going to be good enough for a passing grade. It's up to you to let her in on what you meant to do with the notes or not. As for other students coming up to you, I would tell them that you don't give out notes, because if you are caught, you could be held accountable for cheating, and they aren't going to want any part of that action.

No, you didn't do anything wrong. Let them work as hard as you are. Why are you responsible for making sure they get the info? When I was in school I always tried to start a study group as early as possible in the semester. This will help you weed out the lazy ones that don't show up for class and then try to horn in when exam time comes!

I'm not sure about the notes thing. I would have just said no, or left my notes in the car, took notes for that day on loose-leaf paper and said, "Sorry, I don't have them w/ me." It's obvious they think you know what you're doing. You're right, if they wanted to pass they should have stayed in class!
Maybe you should try to redirect them so someone else, like the teacher. Tell them to go to the tutor center and get a tutor. Also, don't sit by them for finals. If they sit by U, get up and move.

There's nothing you can do about it now, but in the future I would suggest just not giving out any notes, correct or incorrect. I understand your frustration, and these people should most definitely be taking their own notes instead of mooching off yours, but two wrongs don't make a right. Just keep your good note habits, and let the other people fend for themselves.

yes you where wrong for doing that. if you felt this way you should have stood up for your self and let her know that you take notes and come to class for yourself not to be given notes out and you should have let her know that yes you have notes , the notes that you went to class and listen and studied for and no you will not give her or anybody else that does not attend class my work . all the other nonsense puts you in the same bracket as them. you should always voice your feelings . it's better then turning over a wrong note and who knows what might come of that if they find out you gave the wrong notes then what . it's always better to be honest you had just cause to say NO . that's what you should have said.

well you're justified about your feeling, and you have every right not to give your notes to people like that. however, there is no justification for giving them incorrect notes.. I suggest you tell her those notes were incorrect, at least she might consider coming and studying.. instead of studying the incorrect ones then failing.

Fess up that you gave her a set of notes that are incorrect. Let her fail on her own, don't cause her to fail. Don't give her your notes either. If you give your notes to one of these jerks, they'll probably copy them to all of the others.
