Getting Help with Studies

Exam prep and study assistance are growing industries. Students in today's complicated educational world know that studying is important and that the best study aids can significantly improve outcomes.

So how do you get the best study materials in hand? Here are some guidelines and things that we have considered as we move through the creation of our unique curriculum for students.

Getting the Right Resources

The resources you need for study have to do with the topic of study and your field, as well as your level of study and type of education you're pursuing.

When we create study aids, we think about that a lot. We envision what types of resources are going to arm a student with the knowledge that he or she needs as the semester progresses.

Our book notes, for example, are excellent for literary study, as they go over the high points of a piece of classic literature to help deliver insights at a glance and expedite a student's work. Read through some of these guides to see how easy it can be to really address a book, rather than struggling to scan its pages and coming away with just a vague notion of what happened. Classic literature doesn't read the way that we speak today, which causes problems for many students. Everyone learns differently, too, and at their own pace, and this means the right resources are paramount to support a student who is working hard to master the material.

We also have a range of study guides and writing guides. The writing guides do something different from these other resources – they actively help in the process of building good writers, which is a cornerstone of both business and humanities education. Good writing and communication skills are valuable in the work world and in academia, too, so these guides are often worth a lot to students, and they are a popular part of our collection.

Studying in the Right Format

With digital resources, the format is important. If you don't have a searchable context, that can slow studying down quite a bit. Blank PDFs without the ability to be versatile can deliver less value for a busy student. In addition, more mobile-friendly platforms with responsive design built-in can have a dramatic positive impact on someone's study plans.
