Knoowy is een top site waar je veel samenvattingen op kan vinden.
Prima website waar veel kennis te vinden is. De website heb ik gevonden door te zoeken naar samenvattingen.
Ik verkoop samenvattingen om andere studenten te helpen en tegelijk wat bij te verdienen.
Betrouwbare website. Helpt me goed bij het studeren en herhalen.
Ik vind Knoowy erg handig om samenvattingen van mijn opleiding te kopen.
Goed voor als je een samenvatting nodig hebt of de leerstof niet zo goed snapt, maar ook voor als je bijles nodig hebt.
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.
Tijdens mijn studie aan de Arteveldehogeschool en KU Leuven heb ik opdrachten gemaakt die ik nu via Knoowy deel met andere studenten.
