Online kun je studenten helpen met notities en samenvattingen terwijl je niet meer echt naar je samenvatting hoeft om te kijken. Het past goed bij je studie en je kunt tegelijk wat bijverdienen!
Je spaart enorm veel tijd uit door gebruik te maken van deze samenvattingen!
Knoowy is voor mij de perfecte service om een centje bij te verdienen! Die samenvattingen moet ik sowieso maken, dus waarom ze niet uploaden en wat bijverdienen?
Jullie website is top! Het heeft me al veel geholpen. Zeker omdat ik thuis studeer!
Als student voor de examencommissie besparen samenvattingen mij een heleboel opzoekwerk!
Het is een fijne en uitgebreide website met helpende documenten en samenvattingen!
Knoowy is zeker een fijn platform waar studenten goede samenvattingen kunnen vinden die ondersteunend werken voor het examen.
Prima database om studiemateriaal uit te halen, goed toegankelijk, eenvoudig zoeken.
