Reporters may use their own equipment, or they may use Purdue University equipment if available. If reporters use personal steno machines and laptop computers, they are responsible for maintenance and repair of the equipment. Steno machines and laptop computers owned by Purdue University will be maintained and repaired by Purdue University. Purdue University will not pay use fees to reporters who furnish their own equipment. Real-time software is purchased by Purdue University and available for use by contract reporters.
Students using reporting service are responsible for providing diskettes.
Reporters will be evaluated by students at the end of each semester. Evaluation forms will be distributed by the Coordinator to all students using reporters. Information obtained from students will be considered by the Coordinator in making future assignments. All time slips must be signed by both the student and the reporter. To avoid delay in receiving payment for service, reporters should turn in time slips according to the schedule distributed by the Business Office.
