I like helping people out, but i also like free stuff, so I am about 50% for the gift cards and 50% for helping people.

Having to go through the notes helps learn the material and if you lose the work then it is stored on line and you can get it back

I think its great to have a resource like this if you do find yourself missing notes from a class or need more in depth notes. But free gift certificates are also great too.

I actually like this because I am taking note by hand then typing them out and submitting them, which is helping me to go over my notes and study. I think the free stuff is a big plus for me! =)

I'm with Josh on this one. I post notes on here cuz my classmates like how well I take notes in class, as well as the organization of the notes. However, I do have my eye on a few things that I can use the gift cards to buy.

Don't get me wrong the perks are great but Ive been in the position before that I have missed class and needed notes and this place really helped

Not many people from my school use this, so it is hard for me to get notes for my school here.

The stuff is always a plus+ =]. But I'm posting notes to help others, hoping to help myself.

Im hoping by posting notes and telling people about it i will be able to help others and they will be able to help me.

Posting the notes and re-typing my class notes for the site definitely helps me learn the material but the free stuff is a great perk....although I'm not too fond of the new reward system....

In posting my notes it helps me to review the material by typing up my handwritten notes. It also helps other people, and the gift certificates are always a plus. :)

Yeah, my roomate just had mono- this website could help him catch up on all the work he missed. So I think alot of people legitimatly use it (but free stuff is nice :) )

I am on here to both get notes and take advantage of free stuff

well for both. i want free stuff but i might as well get better grades while i do it.

for both reasons

the truth is over rated

definately both. it's a good deal

i'm the only person out of the 7 ppl from my school here that actually posts anything. so i can't really take advantage of the notes. i do it for me :p

both

I don't know how useful my notes are to others, but I agree with others above who said they use it like an archival system so I can never lose it...till they shut down the site (which they hopefully don't).

I write my notes on paper and them type them and upload them to the site and yes, like other say, it helps me study.  This only helps with tests, though, unfortunately and most of my classes are based on papers.  This is exactly why I need a laptop!  Then I could just type the notes initlally and upload them to the site.  How conveneint would that be?!

Oh and yeah, what free stuff?  I haven't seen a lot of that since I've been active on the site.

I write notes and am here for the points. The classes that i take are pretty unique so i dont think i would be able to find any of my classes on here

In general, this just seems like the perfect option for college students and that's why I like being a part of it.  Students need money, but its often hard to come by because you want to focus on your classes.  Wisecampus gives you the opportunity to make some extra money (well, gift cards, but still) in a way that allows you to concentrate on your school work.  It improves your grades, improves others grades, and allows people to build a stronger sense of a college community.  It also has positive implications for recycling and things through their notebook recycling drives and everything.  It helps with fundraising/philanthropy for Greeks and other student groups.  Its just perfect!

I see this sight as another way of making sure one goes to class. Every lecture attended insures not just a better grade but also a potential reward.

Yeah, added incentive.

Though to be honest, I never read anyone else's notes, so maybe I am just doing it for the gift cards.

Regardless of the reason, its just good in general.

How many people on here really know other people in their classes who post?

My notes are starred, so someone must be reading them, but I never know who in my class is reading them and I never search others' notes, so I really don't know whos reading. 

To be honest I am a 50% for the gift cards and 50% for the notes
