What do Speedos, student study sessions, pop band LMFAO and lecture note sharing have in common? Two words: Dr. LocAZu. On February 7th, 2012, Dr. LocAZu crashed the Simon Fraser University campus.
You’ve worn a winter jacket to class for 35 days straight. You simply can’t stay awake in your eight am class. And, even your most charismatic professors are starting to sound like the teacher from Charlie Brown. You, my friend, are experiencing mid-semester burnout. Fear not! Dr. LocAZu is dancing his way onto campuses around Canada, getting students to join student network LocAZu to share lecture notes and study materials.
Wearing nothing but a Speedo and a beat-box, Dr. LocAZu, mascot for the student network of the same name, took the SFU campus by storm. Playing a redubbed version of LMFAO’s “Sexy and I know it” Dr. LocAZu danced his way through campus. He crooned. He wiggled. He may have even busted a move. His goal was simple: get students to take advantage of LocAZu.
LocAZu is Canada’s leading student network. LocAZu specializes in textbook trading, professor and course evaluations, sharing events, and lecture note and study material sharing. In short, LocAzu is the one-stop-shop for student empowerment in the digital age.
Dr. LocAZu, who earned his PhD in getting through school with maximum fun and minimum pain, encouraged SFU students to start sharing study materials and lecture notes. He wants you to do the same.
Whether you’re cramming for a mid-term, have slept through class, or simply want to look at lecture notes written from someone else’s perspective, LocAZu is the largest student network in Canada. Active at 72 schoolds nation-wide LocAzu’s resources are unparalleled. Even better? LocAZu offers points for sharing lecture notes, and these points can be redeemed for cash or gift cards. This reward system is the only one of its kind in Canada.
Isn’t that kind of sharing cheating? Dr. LocAZu doesn’t think so. After all, it isn’t different than exchanging notes with a classmate. Plus, LocAZu protects students and professors by having clear guidelines directly addressing academic integrity. Dr. LocAZu doesn’t want to help you cheat; he wants to empower you, the student, to make university easier and cheaper.
Founder of LocAZu network Dawn Sheirzad explains that “LocAZu wants to be the place students can go to trade textbooks, share lectures notes, post events, and rate classes and professors. All in one place. We’re here help students get more out of school.”
Dr. LocAZu crashed SFU campus and “when he walked on by, girls be looking like, damn he fly …”
