- 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 does the NPA do in first and second zoned areas to constrain the bark beetle?
In the first zones selected felling is done and clear cuts are made in the second zones.
How do the non-interventionists want to see the park managed?
they would like to see non-interventions first zone (reserved for research), surrounded by buffering second-zones reserved for the promotion of natural processes of natural processes in the first-zone. Communities and conservation are to prosper jointly via sustainable tourism. Sumava is to be reinvented into a living laboratory, a site of education, relaxation and recreation, and one of few remaining natural refugia in the CR and Europe.
For what two reasons do the municipalities struggle to refocus the debate onto municipal issues?
The dominant actors do not see them as significant and the unity of the most powerful actors on the ideal of conservation serves as a powerful barrier to addressing issues in terms of their socioeconomic implications.
Why does a switch to tourisms cause discrepancies?
Residents have little experience and are already strained by the economic impacts of post-socialist transition. Existing tourist enterprises show little profit to the municipalities (often owned by non-residents who pay taxes elsewhere).
What strategies doe the municipalities have to regain some say in sumava NP?
Reclaiming land confiscated under socialism, forming the Regional Association of Sumava..
Why is it important that tourism is successful and what makes that difficult to reach?
Development of opportunities in eco-tourism and ecosystem maintenance allow NP's to be established in populated areas. The demographic structure of the area is a primary obstacle to local development.
How is the demographic of Sumava seen?
Post war settlers without relation to the region, gold diggers, too simple, need the communist state for simple jobs, cannot bring tourism, untrustworthy..
