Students eligible for note taking services

There are many different reasons why students registered with the Office ofAcademic Support may be in need of anotetaker.Examples include: • Students who are hard of hearing or

deaf.• Students with low vision or who are

blind.• Students with dexterity/motor skill

difficulty.• Students with learning disabilities.• Students with ADD/ADHD.


Academic situations where a note taker might be needed

• Class or lab lectures• Class discussion• Class guest

speakers• Class videos or

films• Class field trips or

experiential learning


What are the benefits for the student receiving notes?

• Allows student to focus on the instructor.

• Provides student with accurate information.

• Increases student’s confidence-– Student knows that he/she is

receiving accurate information.• Gives student access to classroom

information that may have otherwise been missed.

• Gives student the opportunity to participate in classroom discussion.

• Supplements the student’s notes and provides a tool for notetaking improvement .


What are the benefits for the volunteer note taker?

• Payment and exchange! Note takers receive a $200 stipend. You will

receive your stipend at the end of the semester if your contract is completed in a timely manner.

Note takers must sign a semester contract with the Office of Academic Support . The contracts are to be filled out completely and returned to Vikky Angelico in office #5 at CASA.

If the contract is incomplete, the Office of Academic Support will return it to you. You will not be entered into the payroll system (i.e., you will not be PAID!) until your contract is complete.



Note taking Guidelines

1. Attend class regularly. 2. Have legible handwriting or be able to provide typed notes.3. WRITE IN PEN, NOT PENCIL.4. Drop off notes (labeled with course and section number) in hanging

file folder located at CASA. Due to the nature of their disability, some students may require their notes to be typed; this information will be provided to you at your hire.

5. Amount of stipend will be prorated if student drops the course.

Students who have a note taker understand that receiving notes is not a substitute for class attendance.

Other important items to consider

• Note takers must practice confidentiality and not share any information regarding the student that they are providing notes for.

• Note takers must provide notes in a timely manner (24-48 hours after each class). If a note taker is unable to meet this demand their pay will be compromised. The note taking binder is checked to ensure that notes are being dropped off each week.

• Note takers should do their best to provide the instructor’s information, views and opinions and should refrain from interjecting their own opinions in this information.

• Note takers should follow up with the Office of Academic Support if there are any questions/concerns.


Strategies to assist you in taking more accurate,

complete, and organized notes• Use a ball point pen for notetaking.

• Put a heading and a date on your notes for each class session.

• If possible, use a similar notetaking format throughout the semester.

• Leave margin space on the paper for the student to add his/her own comments later.

• Make sure your handwriting is legible.

• Correct spelling errors and make sure all abbreviations have been properly placed.

• Each sentence should express a complete thought.

• Keep paragraphs short.

• Make sure important info is not buried in the text.

• Leave plenty of white space for editing notes.

Paragraph Format


Other Strategies “Teacher Clues”

•Lecture Cues

•Right before a teacher presents important lecture points he/she may say something like, “it is really important to remember that…” or “you should remember that…” •Teachers say these statements to let students know that the information that follows is important. Of course, the obvious lecture cue is “this will be on the test.”


Other Strategies“Teacher Clues”

•Notes of the Board (Or Overhead)

•If the teacher writes or spells words, write them down along with detailed information about the word. Usually, a teacher will spell new vocabulary or really important words. If the teacher places information on the board or overhead, it should be in your notes.


Completing Note Taker Training

•Verify completion of your note taker training by printing this slide and bringing it to Kevin Long in Office 5 when you drop off your contract
