    Fellow lecturers.

    1. What's your call on electronic distribution of your notes.
    Am spending typical 20hrs for a 3 hr evening class and some students looking for the powerpoint file emailed as well as the notes.
    From earlier conversations I know some students are only in night class to be eventual lecturers so am very unwilling to see my considerable prep time being taken by another. Copy/paste
    I inform the class and college that I hold the copyright on my notes at first class and state so on first class handouts.
    2. Recently found the college had emailed a student my notes despite my direction not to do so.

    Any feedback appreciated

    I actively encourage it. As long as I am credited as the author, I don't really mind. Likewise, if I use notes from another lecturer (I have used notes from another institution) I ask for permission and make sure the original author is credited.

    I would be certainly be annoyed, but I put all my notes/lab work on a shared drive that students (or non-studends inside the college) can download.

    Especially useful when students miss a class.
