How Does it Work?
We recruit volunteer, peer note-sharers from your course. Note-sharers are recruited for lectures, but not labs or tutorials.
Volunteer note-sharers upload their notes weekly to ClockWork, where they can be retrieved by the student. This service begins after the course/add drop deadline.
You must submit your request for notes for each course at the beginning of every semester, using theΒ ββ module in ClockWork.
