What is considered to be a global effort to solve global health challenges?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
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 challenges of global health and what characteristics should solutions have?
Solutions need to cross these boundaries and understand health problems in their global and local dimensions at the same time.
What is meant with dichotomies and why is this negative?
These all have underlying assumptions that hinder development of effective innovations.
What are examples of low cost but highly effective innovations?
- Faster transport to hospital to have a lower maternal morbidity and disabilities
- Training birth attendants in resuscitation, keeping the baby warm, and provision of antibiotics for infection to reduce neonatal deaths
- Expanding vaccinations to reduce young child deaths
- Promoting exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months and continue breastfeeding until 2 and beyond, to reduce infant morbidity
HeroRATS are being trained to detect tuberculosis. This innovation has learned us two things, what are these?
- Innovation is not necessarily high-technology
- Thinking out of the box is be needed to come up with innovations
To reduce the burden of malaria, bed nets have been used as an intervention. This has learned us three things. What are these?
- Innovations, as simple as they may be seen to the innovators, may not be utilised as intended
- Vertical programs which focus on only solving the targeted groups may not be as efficient
- Innovations may have unintended consequences
To reduce the maternal mortality and morbidity there are 4 ways, what are these?
- Skilled personnel helping with births
- Making antenatal care available for all women
- Improving reproductive health care by making contraceptives available and accessible
- Preventing adolescent pregnancies
To improve the maternal health an instrument for antenatal care has been invented. This innovation has learned us two things, what are these things?
- Interventions developed 'for them' may not yield optimal results
- Innovations should be developed 'for and with them'
What are the most important things about science, technology and global health that you need to remember?
- Developments in the biomedical science and technologies offer huge opportunities for global health
- Innovation is not the same as technology
- Innovation is more than science and technology
- Innovations cannot be done 'for them' but is has to be developed 'for and with them'
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
