Als student voor de examencommissie besparen samenvattingen mij een heleboel opzoekwerk!
Bespaart héél veel opzoekwerk en stress ook zeer overzichtelijk en gebruiksvriendelijk.
Betrouwbaar platform om kwaliteitsvolle samenvattingen te vinden en een aangename en gemakkelijke website om te gebruiken
Knoowy is handig voor tijdens de examens en biedt hulp bij tijdsnood. Heel gemakkelijk!
Gemakkelijke website voor samenvattingen te vinden aan een klein prijsje.
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.
Weer een goede ervaring met Knoowy. Makkelijk en snel een nette samenvatting.
Het uploaden en verkopen van mijn documenten verloopt altijd super vlot, alles word eigenlijk al door Knoowy geregeld! Leuk dat medestudenten ook iets aan mijn documenten hebben!
