You should be able to convey this to the student you are working with. You must have studied at least one semester at the university level yourself. You are expected to work with respect for the student and be responsive to their wishes and needs, within the framework of the assignment.

Do you want to work as a note-taking support
You receive the assignment by being asked by the student or through a request in the course Moodle.
As note-taking support, you are responsible for ensuring that the student receives your notes with educational support after the lecture/another occasion when you have taken notes. You agree on how the handover will take place. You do not need to transcribe the notes but try to write as clearly and structured as possible. The student you are taking notes for must be present. You will be paid for the time the lecture takes place. The compensation for note-taking support is SEK 84/hour for a student, SEK 101/hour for two or more students.

Information for you who work as a mentor or note-taking support
As an note-taking support, you are employed by Linnaeus University. To receive your salary paid, you must fill in a monthly remuneration form stating each occasion that you have worked. The remuneration form can be found further down on this page. The salary for note-taking support is SEK 84/hour for one student, SEK 101/hour for two or more students. To receive your payment on the 25th, the report must be submitted no later than the last day of the month worked.
As a mentor, you are employed by Linnaeus University and report your working hours in the payroll system Primula. To receive your payment on the 25th (SEK 151/hour), the report must be submitted no later than the last day of the month worked.
If the report is submitted later, the payment will be made the following month.
Please note that reports submitted between June 1 and September 1 will be processed and paid out in September.
In order for you to receive your salary to the bank account you want, you need to carry out a registration of your account to Danske Bank's payroll service (Danske Bank is Linnaeus University's salary paying bank) at the page Salary and remuneration, under beneath the heading “Salary paying bank.”
Tax is deducted from your salary automatically. If you do not want tax to be deducted, you must submit the form "Certificate for payment of salary without tax deduction" together with your remuneration form (it is enough that you do this at one time). The form and more information can be found at the Swedish Tax Agency (search for the name of the form). If you work in Sweden but live in another country, you must apply for special income tax (SINK). The Swedish Tax Agency has information and forms about SINK on its website.
When you apply for SINK, you also apply for a coordination number (samordningsnummer). This number is necessary for us in order to process the payments. Please be aware of that it can take up to several weeks before you receive the number from skatteverket. Once you get it, please send it to arvode.funksam@lnu.se and charlotte.hageltorn@lnu.se.
