People copying annotations during class?

[elisekatherine]

Hi everyone,
I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope here's okay 

So this year during Psych, I sit next to this girl who always copies what I write in class. My teacher gives us summary notes for each AOS, so while she's explaining/lecturing us, we can highlight, annotate, etc, which is what I usually do.  So this girl, always copies my annotations, even the stupid ones I write to remind myself about remembering a point for a sac or whatever. I know this might sound dumb, but I'm thinking it's because she's really competitive and doesn't want to miss out on anything anyone else has, but it's really annoying me. I've told her that I'm writing my own annotations and that it's pointless to copy me, but she still doesn't get it! I'm kinda stuck on what to do now, should I just let her go and copy me or say something else? Any help or suggestions would be awesome

If it annoys you that much, just don't sit next to her.

In all honesty though, just let it go, it's not a big issue =.=

You can move away, or sit in a way that your covering your paper, like lean on the table. if she really has to peer over in an awkward way then that's really creepy.

I've tried that, yesterday I was leaning over my table, and she was still looking.

And I can't move, because it's pretty much a seating plan, and there are no spare seats. 
I know it might seem a bit stupid, but it is annoying, when every single lesson someone is copying you.

No I feel ya, that's incredibly annoying! Especially since your not okay with it? Does she know that you're not okay with it? Just tell her straight up "Can you please stop copying me, I don't appreciate it etc"and make sure the teacher can hear   if that doesn't work, just flip out that should do the trick

If you don't feel like being direct, maybe try writing super small so she can't read it (but you might not be able to read it either ) or maybe when you've finished writing, flip the page over or place your pens, ruler etc in a way to cover the writing

Perfect opportunity to troll someone me thinks. Perhaps then they can learn their lesson after they start copying incorrect information/utter rubbish down

Hahaha, I thought of that, but then I'll probably stop concentrating and waste class time thinking of stupid things to write down!

Yeah I've told her that the stuff I'm writing is for me and will help me, and if she copies, it won't help her, but she still continues to.
I'll try your ideas next week, thanks!

[paulsterio]

Have you considered raising your ideas with the teacher/school? - not that I condone dobbing on people

[elisekatherine]

No, but I guess that the next step. I could talk to my psych teacher, I guess.
I think I'll see how next week's lessons are, and then go from there

You should tell her she's acting weird and it's really annoying you

[LOLs99]

I really think if she didn't really disturb you or didn't make you can't catch up with teacher, then it sure.to be fine. If you don't like it, then you might just sit in a different spot.
But srsly no big issue, I always let students copy my stuff too as long as they think what i wrote would be useful too.

[Special At Specialist]

I always let people copy me. Even during a SAC
But if it really annoys you, do what Shinny says and then laugh at her when she notices. She'll probably never trust you again...

[LOLs99]

hey, Isn't that a bit too meanyyyy?
