Introduction to Flashnotes
Who We Are... Flashnotes.com is the student-to-student study materials marketplace.On Flashnotes.com, college students sell and buy course-specific study materials—study guides, notes, flashcards, video tutorials, and live video help.
Our Mission... To complement and reinforce the in-class experience and assigned textbook.
What We Aren’t…A repository for exams, tests, homework or a way for students to plagiarize professors or textbooks.
How It Works…Students upload their original study material and set their own price. The student received 70% of their total sales in a weekly payment via the payment method of their choice.

• Remedial forms of education are needed, both before the class and also during.
• Content on Flashnotes.com is truly meant to supplement and reinforce what goes on in the classroom.
• This reinforcement ensures that more students are on the same knowledge level during each class.
• This leads to more engagement inside the class and less issues going forward.
Lou LatiafDean Emeritus, Boston University School of Management
• Students have always used peer to peer learning as a way to complement formalized education.
• It is a way for the students providing instruction to better understand the key concepts and for the student being instructed to hear another student’s perspective around these same concepts.
• Universities already have elements on campus that focus on peer-to-peer learning – Tutoring.
