With exams and projects coming up, I decided to put what I use to help me prepare for them.
Exams and Quizzes
For exams, it depends on how the class is structured on what I use. This semester my classes have all of the studying material in a slideshow or something that can be easily downloaded. Since that is the case, I will be using NotebookLM.
I like it because there are many different ways I can study the material. There is using the AI it has already within the website and they just added a podcast form. If there is a study guide, I will use AI. As they just added the podcast I am trying it out as I can. I did use it on an exam as I did not feel that well prepared for it. The website will also create a study guide, quiz, and exam. I also like to make folders for all of my different class exams. Since Google runs NotebookLM, you can not use your school email, at least for me as my college is a Microsoft campus.
Another website that helps me is Quizlet. I use it for exams, quizzes, and homework. For homework, I will list the questions I got wrong or did not do well on. I have made folders with labels for each class and its course code.
If you need something other than Quizlet, Jungle is just like it but a little different. You can upload your slides, PDFs, and more. There are three different ways of studying: case questions, free response, and multiple-choice. As you answer questions, a tree grows as you get the questions right. On top of the tree, there is also a progress bar.
Projects
For projects, I use a couple of different things. For picking out the perfect color or colors I use Coolors. Some palettes are already made, they are called trending color palettes. There is a way to filter based on color and style. The style would be warm or the number of colors. You can also search for topics, like spring or fall. If you want to make your palette, there is a generator. In the custom palette, there can be as many colors as you want.
Another great website and app is Notion. There is the option to use it for projects or just personal. For projects, it is a fantastic workspace to collaborate, organize using a calendar and/or schedule, and make posts with links. For personal, you are able to do the same thing as above and add your classes and their due dates.
Other useful websites
When I am writing I will use Grammarly. I am not the best at spelling and I can download it to my computer and have it spellcheck every word and they also check how well everything is worded. There is a free version and multiple paid versions.
Another helpful website I have found is StudentBeans. It is a website that has discounts and deals mainly for college students. You have to put in your school email to make sure you are a student. There are so many different categories from fashion to travel and more. There are also deals of the day. Within the deals, they will say if anyone can use them or if it is just for students. StudentBeans offers an app if you would like that better than the website.
