The Daily Pennsylvanian, U.Penn’s leading student newspaper, wrote about GradeGuru in an article titled, “Take good class notes – and get paid for it”. The article talks about how U.Penn is the number two school in terms of universities with the most points on GradeGuru.

“U.S. News and World Report may say Penn is tied for sixth place, but it’s number two for the quality of its students’ note-taking, according to GradeGuru.com. GradeGuru is a Web site that lets students from any university post old notes and study guides from classes and get paid for them. The notes are free to access. According to the site, the notes of Penn students who have posted their work have the second-highest ratings out of the 322 schools with registered student contributors.”

“The students who tried it say it’s a fast – and fulfilling – way to make money. College sophomore Landon Marder said posting notes on GradeGuru provides a unique satisfaction. ‘I worked really hard in making my notes and study guides, and it would be a shame for only myself to use my notes once,’ he said. ‘With GradeGuru, I am able to share my hard work with other people.’ Marder said he earned over $60 uploading his notes onto the site since the beginning of the year.”

The University of Pennsylvania has historically been one of the top school on GradeGuru, with notes coming mostly from business, communications and liberal arts students.
