Downloaden maar! Goede site met goede documenten. De prijs wordt aangepast o.b.v. de beoordelingen.
De samenvattingen zijn goed om te gebruiken als je te laat bent met leren of slecht bent in samenvatten.
Werkt prima, gelijk downloaden en geen ingewikkelde procedures. Heel fijn!
Zeker de moeite als je een groot vak op het nippertje niet helemaal rond zou krijgen.
De website is gebruik vriendelijk, je krijgt meteen de samenvatting na de betaling. Aanbevolen!
Een goede site voor samenvattingen en leren. Ik kan iedereen aanraden om deze site te gebruiken.
Knoowy heeft mij geholpen om aan samenvattingen te komen, zodat ik tijd bespaar door het zelf niet te hoeven maken.
Een handige site voor het aankopen van samenvattingen voor examens.
