Super hulp bij het studeren en bespaart veel kostbare tijd.
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.
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!
Kijk voor samenvattingen ook eens op Knoowy. Goede samenvattingen en betaalbaar.
Het is een fijne en uitgebreide website met helpende documenten en samenvattingen!
Bespaart héél veel opzoekwerk en stress ook zeer overzichtelijk en gebruiksvriendelijk.
