Absent classmate accuses diligent student of being selfish, after she refuses to share her class notes with him, despite repeatedly doing so in the past, sparking disagreement among friend group: 'I feel like I’m being used and enabling him to skip class'

Here are 5 effective ways to get other students to stop asking to use your notes: 

1.) Blame your schedule
“Sorry, I've been swamped with classes and extracurriculars. Maybe ask someone else if you need it soon.”

2.) Redirect them
Lead them to the water, but don't hold the glass for them…"Try asking the lecturer or checking the slides, you'll find everything you need there."

3.) Give less, not nothing
If saying no is more difficult for you, send a vague summary instead of full notes, and hopefully they'll stop relying on you.

4.) Be consistent
Don’t listen to the “just this once” excuse, that’s why they keep coming back. Repeat your response until they finally get the hint.

1.) Just say no 
No explanation needed.
