For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is mean by species area?
- Range is determined by the spatial distribution of individual populations
By what can range shits be driven?
- By short climatic extremes such as freezing
What is the process with coral?
- The algae photosynthesize and pass nutrients to the coral host
- The coral provides a physical structure that protects the algae + keeps them in sunlight for photosynthese
What happens when corals are exposed to high water temperatures?
- Without the photosynthesis the corals lose their colour and only their calcium carbonate skeleton stays visible
Where do corals live? And why is this important?
- As the atmosphere warmed -> some is transferred to the surface of the ocean -> resulting in warmed mean ocean temperatures near the surface
What were the first changes on land?
- Population in the south and lowlands were disappearing very fast, but in the north they weren't disappearing
- Continuing this trend would leadto loss of lowland/southern range and an increase in the poleward
What are the options species have faced with climate change?
- Adapt
- Die
How are artic/antartic species affected?
-The artic fox which is retreating northward, because the red fox also goes north
What happens with a decline in sea ice?
(salp increase -> decline in krill)
What happend in the Sierra Nevada mountains?
When do range shifts occur?
- Warming period: Poleward shifts
- Cooling period: Shift away from the poles
What regio is sensitive to climate change and why?
- Species have narrower fitness tolerances to temperature.
How do you measure the impact of climate change?
What are the first expected shifts?
- When ice cover declines -> more species can colonize -> and species typical of these shore habititats increase in number
What is an example with fresh water changes?
- Basal metabolism accelerates with higher temperature -> less room for metabolism directed at swimming + other activities
Which species also undergo changes next to native/endemic species?
- Pests
- Pathogens
- Example: Mosquitoes -> ectothermic -> sensititive to climate -> higher temperature in colder areas -> range expansion
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
