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 the overall conclusion of Kathan et al (2016) given business models?

- Consumers also think about community benefits instead of self-interest only.
What are four reasons to understand the long-term impact of sharing economy?

- A rising shift in values (from you are what you own, to you are what you share)
- The potential to increase environmental sustainability (anti-consumption leads to green and sustainable consumption)
- Sharing can pay off financially
What are the 4 reasons why SE should be taken seriously according to Kathan et al (2016)? (Can be considered as positive effects)
1. Technology makes the difference
- Due to technology, SE can scale up and be transparant.
2. Shift in values
- There is a shift in value from ownership to access based,
- Shift in value due to urbanization; people have less space to store things
- Self-help, more income and flexibility for households
3. Increase environmental sustainability
- Lower resource deployment
- Extended product lifecycle
- Maximum usage of resources
- Reduce waste and carbon footprint
4. Can pay off financially
- Self-oriented motivation, cost & Benefit can explain why SE is here to last.
Is my business model affected by the sharing economy?
- Does the sharing economy affect my customer value proposition? (people don't want to buy products but they want to get the job done)
- Does the sharing economy affect my profit formula? (Sharing economy leads to new ways of generating revenues)
- Does the sharing economy affect my key resources and processes? (it requires radical considerations in resources and processes)
What are threats according to Kathan et al on the SE? Regarding technology, shift in values, environmental sustainability, financial benefits
- Shift in values; regarding income; it only covers short-term living
- Environmental sustainability; rebound effects and it only works if people consider the ecological arguments as evenly important, now its mostly utilitarian arguments to choose for SE.
- Financial benefits; SE is also called skimming economy, because it exploits loopholes and avoids taxes and rules.
