Note for Laura: You asked whether or not we could review and rewrite our class notes, to make them into thoughts in a way rather than...whatever they are.
I answered that I would not because, "they are for me, not for you."
In truth I was, at that moment, being more troublesome than serious and fear my reply may have been sharp or dismissive.
But I've a clearer, perhaps more acceptable reason.
My "class notes," are not my thoughts. They are literally bits of what others have said in class to remind me of what occurred that day. I can not make these into sentences because they do not belong to me. It would become only a detailed rendition of events rather than any deliberation on my part.
It is not as if I do "not" provide my own opinion, I do, just later and separately from my notes.
In a way, I doubt you were speaking to me when expressing your desire for rewritten notes, but perhaps I'm self-absorbed.
