Anki for Students: Studying with Digital Flashcards
You may have been most of your student life searching for a better way to study. One that makes the act of studying a more efficient, engaging and useful one. Which doesn’t only improve your academic performance but that also leaves you more free time for other aspects of life outside academics.
Who is this class for?
You might have heard about Anki but haven’t yet got started with it or you already tried it but you couldn’t get the hang of it, either because it wasn’t intuitive to use or because it didn’t deliver real results.
So my aim with this class is to address all of these matters so that you can get to benefit from Anki as much as I do.
