What is MakeUp Notes?

It is the widely accepted goal of higher education to equip students with the knowledge, tools and abilities to prosper in their personal and professional lives. MakeUp Notes facilitates the achievement of this goal in a profound way by ensuring all students have the ability to stay current in their studies through periods of illness, aggressive curriculum and other setbacks to their educational progress.

Makeup Notes is there when schedule changes, unpreparedness, long delays on congested highways, hazardous weather, work conflicts, illness, family tragedy or simple forgetfulness leaves America's students regrettably left wondering what they missed in class and worrying whether they will suffer greatly for their misfortune. The consequences of a single absence are devastating enough, but multiple, consecutive absences have very severe consequences. America's dedicated students deserve an affordable and convenient solution for recovering from a missed class. MakeUp Notes provides America's 19 million college students an unparalleled opportunity to minimize or eliminate the ramifications of the unavoidable or accidental, and does so for only $3.00 per class meeting when a student utilizes MakeUp Notes.

MakeUp Notes benefits students in a myriad of ways. Our custom tailored services assist them in recovering from missed classes, promotes more efficient and effective studying and even provides students, with an affinity for notetaking, an income stream that can greatly aid in financing their collegiate expenses. By taking high quality class notes and uploading them to our site, successful note taking students can easily earn in excess of $105 per week, essentially by attending class.

 

How Does It Work?

The heart of MakeUp Notes is an advanced, secure and online database that is capable of transferring millions of notes between students daily. This database will allow students to upload their class notes to www.makeupnotes.com, officially making them available for immediate purchase by other students at a fixed sale price of $3.00. Each time this happens the note taker will receive $1.50. Additionally, $0.05 from every transaction goes back to the school the Notetaker attends.

Not only do we give students a choice in obtaining notes that they have missed, but also we provide them the service at a price that is always more time and often more cost effective than making copies of the notes by hand or by machine. Those copied notes were likely from a friend and not one of our outstanding and motivated Notetakers. In contrast, our site rewards the most successful and entrepreneurial students who come to the aid of others that struggle after missing class by providing them a method to earn money from their attendance. We are not simply providing them a means to acquire the notes from a class they missed or misunderstood, but rather the means to accomplish great academic success that they might have otherwise been unable to obtain.

MakeUp Notes benefits students by providing an additional tool for success. We project MakeUp Notes will lower class failure rates and resultant expensive course repetition. Purchasing one note per class meeting would be a far greater cost savings for the student than repeating the class and repaying tuition during the next semester. Additionally, when the student attends a public university, the cost of repeating classes to the government is very high. In a time of budget cuts and schools needing more money than they receive, MakeUp Notes is an important supplement to the universities, because it helps students graduate on time, saving taxpayers thousands of dollars annually per student who is able to graduate on time as a direct result of our service.


Some of the many benefits provided by a lowered class failure rate include a lowered average time to earn a degree, reduced student loss of financial aid and scholarships, decreased burdens on financial aid for repeat classes and increased numbers of new students allowed to enroll in frequently repeated classes, which sometimes delays graduations. The high cost of tuition and even higher cost of class repetition make MakeUp Notes a tool students cannot afford to ignore. The graph below shows sample tuition rates, as listed on official school websites, and corresponding costs to the government at a per credit hour rate compared to the cost of MakeUp Notes per credit hour.

Collaboration With America's Educational Institutions

MakeUp Notes fully collaborates with schools to prevent cheating using our service. By utilizing MakeUp Notes, students are able to earn higher grades than they would be able to without the service. MakeUp Notes does not replace learning, instead we make the inconvenience of missing class less of a hardship, the student will still learn just as much, if not more than they would if they had just attended or missed class. MakeUp Notes purpose is and always will be to serve the general interest of the postsecondary community. MakeUp Notes facilitates greater accessibility to our educational system, making college seem more obtainable for many of America's students, who struggle to balance work with their education. We believe we can make a tremendous positive impact on our nation's educational system.
