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 are positive effects of a helminth infection?
- Prevents allergies/asthma
- Prevents auto-immune diseases
- Reduced incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases
Which three types of parasites are there?
- protozoa
- arthropods (exoskeleton, spider/tyke)
How is Schistosomaisis treated?
What are CAA and CCA?
After 4-6 weeks CAA and CCA can be detected
How is malaria treated?
Why is it difficult to design a vaccine against parasites?
- they develop quickly to other stages which makes it difficult to generate a proper immune response towards one life stage
- parasites are very good at evading the immune system
Why is it difficult to design a vaccine against hiv?
- no complete understanding of the immune response
- limited investments
Which type of immune response is provoked by parasites?
Explain antigenic diversity and antigenic variation
Variation = multiple copies of one gene in an organism
Explain the life cycle of Cysticercosis
Worms have both female and male organs (hemaphrodite) and they release small peaces of their tail that are excreted via the stool. These small pieces break open in the environment, which releases eggs.
Explain the life cycle of dracunculiasis
Through wich mechanism does pathology occur in malaria and schisto?
S: eggs can get stuck in capillaries and cause an immune response.
Secreted products (CCA and CAA) also provoke an immune response
The cercariae reside several days in the skin, which causes an inflammatory reaction -> skin rash
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
