I (18F) am a student in college, in my second year studying for an advanced diploma in marketing. Next year I will be studying for my Bachelors Degree in Buisness Enterprise. Each year, the class has to nominate a class representative and since no one wanted to take responsibility, I decided to become the representative. I was nominated twice in a row per year. My job is to collect any queries the class on the whole had and to forward our concerns to lecturers, directors, etc.
I had no friends in class. When it came to group work, no one would offer me to join them in their group, I would be placed automatically with anyone who's missing a group member.
The end of the scholastic year is near and we are in our crucial month when it comes to assignments. Earlier this year, the teachers had a strike and some students didn't bother attending class as they didn't know if the strike will continue or not. If it did, we would have gotten all automatic passes in our units which aren't valid grades on our certificate and we would find it difficult applying to jobs or other learning opportunities.
I had students ask me to send them notes, and I would tell them that the notes our teachers uploaded are on Moodle (the class VLE we use). Most of them would thank me and it stops there. Sometimes, students may have queries with homework and ask in the group chat. Most times, the classmates answer each other. Sometimes, when I ask the chat myself, I either get any answers late or they ignore my message in the first place. Today, another student (19F) asked me for notes. Just like I tell the others who ask me, I just tell them where the teacher's notes are, and she proceeds to ask me for personal notes that I've written in class, to help her with an assignment she hasnt started yet. I refused to give her my notes but out of pity I decide to explain the assignment better to her. She said thanks and went ahead to ask the same question in the class group chat. I publicly told her the same thing (that notes are on the VLE).
On second thought, I feel like I'm a jerk. Though at the same time, I just don't want to be taken advantage of.
So AITA?
