Super handig, echt een goeie site. Ik ga dit in de toekomst vaker gebruiken!
Het is heel fijn om via Knoowy extra ondersteuning te hebben bij het studeren door middel van samenvattingen van de lesstof.
Handige bron om samenvattingen te vinden, vorige beoordelingen helpen hier zeker bij!
Tijdens mijn studie aan de Arteveldehogeschool en KU Leuven heb ik opdrachten gemaakt die ik nu via Knoowy deel met andere studenten.
Betrouwbare website. Ik zet er zelf ook samenvattingen op en ik koop er ook.
Knoowy is voor ons een extra verkoopkanaal en biedt de mogelijkheid samenvattingen online te verkopen.
Makkelijke site om veel samenvattingen en verslagen snel te vinden.
Prima ervaring, vlotte betaling, alles vlot kunnen downloaden Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.
