Today The Spectrum - the Independent Student Newspaper at Buffalo University, published an article titled “Cash for your note stash”. The Spectrum staff writer discusses how students at Buffalo University are using GradeGuru to earn rewards for their notes, the perks of using GradeGuru and the role GradeGuru Campus Ambassadors have in informing classmates about the benefits of GradeGuru.

“Grade “A” notes taken last semester may be worth a hefty penny, now that GradeGuru.com has turned quality note taking into a profitable business.”

“Kim [Bri] became a campus ambassador for GradeGuru through an internship program at UB. Campus ambassadors are top note sharers on the site and work within their universities to promote this new way of studying.”

“It’s a community that feeds off itself,” Sawtell said. “Campus ambassadors are telling friends about it and spreading the word.”

“I like it because it’s so easy to search on,” Kim said. “You just put the class name and hundreds of notes will come up … you can search it, click it, download it and bam.”

University of Delware students are finding that GradeGuru offers them the opportunity to reap in more benefits for their notes than just good grades. This week student editor Chelsea Caltuna from The UD Review published an article titled,  “Web site swaps class notes for cash”

“Students could be getting more out of their note-taking than just higher test scores. GradeGuru.com, a new Web site created by the education company McGraw-Hill, allows students across the country to upload and share their class notes and get paid for them.”

“It rewards you for going to class,” sophomore EJ Ekhatosaid. “I think the site is a great idea because it spreads class notes around and makes them more available to everyone.”

“After students upload their notes, GradeGuru uses a formula based on the thoroughness and relevance of the notes to determine how many points the student receives.”
