Zeker de moeite als je een groot vak op het nippertje niet helemaal rond zou krijgen.
De documenten zijn duidelijk en goed samengevat. Het is fijner leren dan vanuit het boek.
Soms koop ik meerdere samenvattingen over 1 boek. Dit helpt mij als ik onvoldoende tijd heb om het hele boek te lezen en zelf geen samenvatting kan maken.
Betrouwbare website. Ik zet er zelf ook samenvattingen op en ik koop er ook.
Super handig, echt een goeie site. Ik ga dit in de toekomst vaker gebruiken!
Kijk voor samenvattingen ook eens op Knoowy. Goede samenvattingen en betaalbaar.
Samenvattingen zijn eenvoudig te bestellen en te downloaden via de website. Aan te raden.
Ik vind Knoowy erg handig om samenvattingen van mijn opleiding te kopen.
