Academic integrity
PeerNote exists to help you learn from your classmates. It is not, and will never be, a place to share exam answers.
Share this
- Notes you took during or after lecture
- Worked examples your professor did in class
- Your own outlines, summaries, and concept maps
- Flashcards or practice questions you wrote yourself
- Announcements, like “the midterm covers chapters 1 to 4”
Never share this
- Questions or answers from a real quiz, test, or exam, even from memory
- Answer keys or test banks
- Full solutions to homework that's currently graded
- Anything your professor has said not to share
How screening works
Every time a note is saved, PeerNote checks it before sharing. The check looks for red flags such as answer keys, point values, multiple-choice questions, and exam versions, and blocks notes that look like quiz or exam content. Class files with readable text get the same check. Automated checks are not foolproof, and classmates can report anything that slips through to the course creator, so please share only material your instructor permits.
Students cannot directly insert notes through the database API. Uploads pass through PeerNote's server and its configured screening before they are shared.
Your school's rules come first
Every course and school has its own honor code. If your professor doesn't allow sharing notes for their class, don't. When in doubt, ask.
