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 three forms of capital that are related to gender and access to/control over resources?
- Natural capital - women often only have user rights to land but sometimes motherhood can also secure land tenure
- Economic capital - (married) women have less access to credit (and bankaccounts...) --> micro credit
- Physical capital - mostly restricted in combination with/as a result of limited access to other resources
What is social capital and how does it relate to gender?
What are the three downsides of social capital?
- Social capital can provide a network in times of need, but networks often claim female labour and care
- Strong social networks often include high levels of social control over behaviour
- Women are often excluded from powerful networks and often have very homogenous networks.
Through which three processes can gender relations change?
- Strategizing: woemn are not helpless victims, but strategize to optimise livelihoods
- Bargaining: bargaining within the household influences behaviour of women and men
- Valuing outcomes; it is important to look into how women themselves interpret the outcomes of empowering projects.
What is the gender division of labour?
What are three forms of reproduction?
- Biological reproduction (childbearing, breastfeeding)
- Generational reproduction (raising, educating children)
- Daily reproduction (daily maintenance of household)
What is the subordination of women?
What are 4 facts about time allocation in peasant households?
- Women often work more hours per day than men
- Men participate little in daily maintenance of the household and other unpaid 'household work'
- Cash income earning activities are predominantly carried out by men
- Contribution of women to farm work varies considerably across different peasant societies. The poorer the household, the more women tend to contribute to farm work. In many African societies, women mainly work in food crops (for subsistence) and men in cash crops (for market sale)
What are vulnerability contexts?
How do we define migration as a livelihood strategy?
What are the three characteristics of the Harris-Todaro model?
- Migration is a response to the gap between rural and urban incomes (=push & pull factors); 'incomes' include public goods and services & other amenities
- Those who do not find a formal urban job turn to informal urban sector
- Offers explanation for urban 'unemployment'
What are the limitations of the Harris-Todaro model?
- Existing labour force sizes no good indicator of probability of finding a formal job for newcomers
- Does not consider migration costs (travel costs, risks, foregone income), but they can be incorporated
- Other motives besides wage differences may plat a role: RIsk spreasing, remittances sent home, and so on...
What are the five characteristics of the NELM model?
- Basic assumption: Migration decisions are at least partly taken by the household to which a migrant belongs
- Househol acts collectively to maximize income, reduce risks and loosen the (credit, insurence) market constraints they face
- Migration can help households to overcome problems with access to (in)formal credit & insurance by providing finance (remittances) and by diversifying income sources
- The household covers the initial costs of migration (can be very large!), but receives liquidity (remittances) and insuracne at a later stage
- Migration is driven by imperfections in credit and income insurance markets (in addition to labour markets)
What are the limitations of the NELM model?
- Local OFE (self-employment, local wage employment) neglected; can often be combined with agricultural activities, and also loosens credit and insurance constraints
- Migrant remittances may be used outside agriculture (education, rural houses, private businesses, leisure..)
- No attention for 'social remittances' (new knowledge, skills, entrepeneurship, social capital) of returning migrants
- Not attention to impact on 'left-behind children'
