Note Taking and Scribe Support

The Support 

Note-taking and scribe services are provided for daily lectures and classroom learning scenarios, and one-off exam situations. We Will:

  ·   Arrange a face to face meeting to discuss your support and individual preferences

  ·   Devise a plan on how you want your notes taken and organised

  ·   Take handwritten notes unless typed notes are specified in your funding approval letter

  ·   Ensure all Academic Support Workers undertake a spelling test and written exercise at interview

To ensure note-takers meet our high standards, we review a selection of the notes each semester to monitor the quality of the notes provided.

We also ask you to complete regular feedback on your support, so we know we are giving you what you need when you need it.

When and where?

We will ask you to send us your timetable and highlight the sessions when you would like a note-taker. Our Academic Support Workers/ Note Takers and Scribes discretely introduce themselves to the lecturer/teacher, take notes and hand them to you at the end of the session. You can choose whether you sit with your note-taker.

Our Academic Support Workers understand the importance of confidentiality and will not disclose any information about you or your support to your teaching staff or peers. The support can be as discrete as you wish; some of our students prefer notes to be scanned and emailed after the session. We fit in with you.

Who?

We support students at school, college, and university. This includes a part-time course that may be in an evening and summer schools and short courses.
