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 an advantage of shared services?
- Standardization
If in an organization only standard tools are allowed what has to be done to create shared services?
Is it better to start an new toolchain or choose one which is already in use?
What are tasks for an embed Ops engineer in a team?
- At the start influencing product architecture, internal and external technology choices, creating new capabilities in our platforms.
- After release to production with production responsibilities
- Switch to another project when no longer needed because of the maturity of the product.
What is an advantage of an embed Ops engineer in a DevOps team?
- For cross-training operations knowlegde and expertise into a service team.
- Transforming operations knowledge into automated code that's more reliable and widely reused.
What has the designated Ops engineer to understand?
- What the new product functionality is and why it's build
- How it works as it pertains operability, scalability and observability
- How to monitor and collect metrics to ensure the progress, success or failure of the functionality
- Any departures from previous architectures and patterns and the justification for them
- Any extra needs for infrastructure and how usage will effect infrastructure capacity
- Feature launch plans.
What has to be done if the Dev team is not achieving there goals despite the Ops liaison?
- The liaison engineer must reduce the number of teams it is supporting
- Temporarily embed an Ops engineer into the team
How can Ops be integrated in Dev rituals
- Joining standups
- Joining retrospectives
- Make Ops work visible on the Kanban board
What 's the advantage for Ops joining the standups?
- Gaining awareness of Dev teams activiting
- better planning and preparation
- helping the team solving problems (improving performance, creating more integrations).
What's the advantage for Ops joining the retrospective?
- They benefit from new learnings
- they present there own outcomes and learnings as feedback for the team
- The team knows what the impact of their work is downstream.
Why should Ops work be on the Kanban board?
- To know what has to be done, so it's not forgotten or planned to late.
- to keep track of all the Ops work to get the code in production
- to see where Ops work is blocked and where it needs eccalation or improvement.
