How Does it Work?

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 the聽鈥溾�� module in ClockWork.
