thats precisely my point, thus the thread is infringing on copyright.. would you not agree?

Aw thanks, I know I'm great.

So, provided some money changes hands, it doesn't matter, is what you're saying? Even if none of that money whatsoever is going to whoever wrote/published/owned the copyright of the book/notes?

DanOB

I did not at any point say that.

have a look at the copyright & related rights act 2000

the institute is good and some of their teachers and their notes cannot be beaten,the biology teacher i had there was amazing and her notes were excellent,however im repeating this year in a ****ty school and im just realising now that the notes that our geography teacher in the institute told us to use solely for the exams are missing a lot of essential stuff

I got a C in geography for the junior and an A2 for the leaving...

I think that its very unfair that one person pays 7 grand for something and someone else is looking for a part of it for free so I agree.

@DanOB: You didn't say it, but you suggested it. I'm sure one of your institute teachers must have at one point taught you the fine art of "reading between the lines".

Now, since you posted on the thread about applied maths notes, I shall assume that you read Piste's post saying that it was decided that giving away notes for free is acceptable to do. So, while thank you for highlighting concerns you may have had, you can also leave the job of moderating to the moderators.

in there fulltime myself, its my understanding that the majority of the notes are copyrighted by the teachers- thus the thread is soliciting copyright infringement.. cant believe a mod hasnt shut it down already

Behave.

Imho, there's no point in the Institute teachers handing out pages and pages of notes with every last detail covered in them. This would only be a hindrance to weaker and less motivated students. The best notes are those which you write yourself and take the time to write and research yourself.

I got a lot of Institute notes when i did my LC and they were great. They don't leave stuff out at all i found, they had the info i needed. The physics ones were great, Pat Doyle is a legend. They had everything in them, really don't know what people are on about. Of course they're not essential but if you study them properly you'll do well, important to note that they're not a magic pill-they have to be worked on.

Class Notes

While the priority is, and always has been, the excellence of the classroom tuition, the Institute further specialises in providing extra help for its students in the form of notes. Summaries of topics taught, sample papers containing examination-type questions and model answers etc., are given wherever necessary, in order to clarify and reinforce classroom tuition. The Institute of Education notes are strictly copyright.

Just to clarify on behalf of all concerned.

Oops, forgot to close this one too. Think it's basically a "no-no" on giving away notes.

Thanks, copyright!
