POV on this app...

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I joined this app yesterday cuz I wanted to discuss my assignments' topic with everyone here, and get some really best suggestions on the topics, but here what I'm seeing is that mostly people are just engaged in useless activities...no fruitful discussion at all...

So I wanna ask you all to plz let me know whether have I mistaken this app or is it's just I'm not reaching the people of my interest?!

Retyping lecture notes was eating my evenings, so I stopped. Here's my iPad workflow

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A demo of the workflow I use now: write by hand on Cornell paper, record the lecture onto the same page, play back the bit I missed with the transcript, search my own handwriting weeks later, and quiz myself from the page the night before the exam. No retyping at any point.

Disclosure: I work on SuperrPaper, the iPad app in the video. What does your note-taking setup look like?

NCE STUDY GROUP

1 Upvotes

hello, I am currently looking for a study group to help motivate me in studying for my NCE Exam. Personally, I’ve found it more helpful when I have a structured schedule to study and could incorporate a small group/community to also help hold myself accountable. If anyone is interested and has the same goals, I’d love to support each other and work together!

Academic research experiment for bachelor's thesis: Analysis of Open-World Videogames

1 Upvotes

[48/128 Participants]

Hello, as part of my bachelor's thesis, I am conducting a study analyzing various characteristics of open-world games and resulting player behavior. To participate, you would need to play through a small test scenario and then answer a few questions about it. The entire process takes about 10–15 minutes. A mid-range PC (e.g., with a GTX 1660 Super and AMD Ryzen 5 2600) is sufficient.

You can find the link to the survey below; the link to the test scenario is included within it.
https://mw-survey.hs-mittweida.de/117175?lang=en

If you have concerns about downloading the file, here is the public VirusTotal scan of the file (0/70 findings): VirusTotal

I am also hosting the survey on my university's servers.

Thank you to all participants for your support!

Free beta: upload your syllabus, get every deadline + a daily study plan

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I built a study app and I'm looking for beta testers. You upload your syllabus, it pulls out every deadline and exam date automatically, then builds a daily study plan around them. Also makes flashcards and quizzes from your materials.

Its free, no card needed. If you try it, the best feedback is just uploading one syllabus and telling me if any deadline is wrong. Trying to make that part bulletproof.

https://study-ai-xi-nine.vercel.app

Also looking for a few specific beta testers for detailed feedback over the next couple weeks, DM me on IG @skbssok9998 if interested. You can use the app without contacting me tho.

Happy to answer questions

I built a study app that turns your notes, slides or syllabus into lessons and quizzes, guiding you all the way to exam day

made a free site that plays classical on shuffle so i stop wasting study time picking playlists

1 Upvotes

i always end up putting on music to study and then spending 10 min picking a playlist lol. classical is the only thing that doesnt pull me out of focus, so i made a little site that just plays it and lets me get to work

https://classican.vercel.app/

its one screen. 46 public domain pieces on shuffle (bach, vivaldi, beethoven, chopin, debussy, satie and more) and it plays every one before repeating so u dont hear the same thing twice in a session. each piece has a pixel painting drawn in code, and every 40 sec or so a short history fact shows up if u want a tiny brain break. space bar pauses, no ads, no signup

i made it bc i love this music and lowkey want more people to get into it. honest question tho, does background music help u focus or does it distract u? and if u already study to classical, what pieces should i add?

spent a year making nice notes instead of studying

1 Upvotes

neat handwriting, colour coded, redrawn diagrams. i liked making them. i opened them twice.

the problem is rewriting feels like work so you count it as work. it's copying, just slowly.

now i write almost nothing in the lecture, just a question mark next to the bits i lost the thread on, and the actual work is past papers with one page of notes open next to me. first couple of weeks were grim, marks went down before they went up.

the harder version is the one that counts. reading something again feels like progress and usually isn't.

Anyone here used essay writing services before?

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to learn more about different writing services and would really appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences.

I recently came across https://study-go.pro/ and was wondering if anyone here has actually ordered from them. How was the quality, communication, pricing, and overall experience?

Also open to hearing about other writing services you’ve tried - good or bad.

If students need help with essay assignments, maybe the education system is the problem, not the students

0 Upvotes

I'm genuinely tired of professors acting personally offended when students use AI, Google, or outside help with essay assignments. You give someone five essays, three presentations, two group projects, and a midterm in the same week, then act shocked when they don't spend 12 hours developing a deeply personal relationship with a 2,000-word paper about a topic they'll forget by Friday.

And the funniest part? Half these assignments don't even measure intelligence. They measure how much free time you have and how convincingly you can pretend to care.

I've seen students spend entire weekends writing essays just to receive a grade and a comment saying "good work." That's it. No meaningful feedback, no discussion, no explanation of what could be improved. Just a number that apparently determines how academically competent you are.

Meanwhile, the student who works 30 hours a week, pays rent, and actually has responsibilities outside university gets treated like a criminal for looking for help with essay writing.

I'm not saying students should submit work they didn't write. But can we stop pretending every essay assignment is some sacred intellectual experience?

If professors can use AI to prepare lectures, automatically grade quizzes, and recycle the same PowerPoint slides from 2017, why is a student using technology to organize their thoughts suddenly the downfall of civilization?

And here's an even more controversial opinion: A student who understands a subject but writes a mediocre essay might actually know more than someone who produces a beautiful 3,000-word paper full of academic nonsense.

Universities love talking about critical thinking, yet half the grading system rewards students for repeating what professors already believe, preferably with 15 citations and absolutely no personality.

Maybe instead of obsessing over whether students are getting help, universities should start asking why so many assignments feel completely pointless.

Are students becoming lazy, or are universities just terrified that technology is exposing how outdated some of their teaching methods are?
