This is the course for students who know they should probably have a better system, but don’t want a complicated second job just to stay on top of uni work.
The goal is to make note-taking useful for essays, understanding, revision, and long-term thinking.
What this course helps you do
- Build workflows that support study, revision, research and writing
- Use the best academic tools without overcomplicating choosing and implementing them
- Learn from a real degree context rather than abstract productivity waffle (I graduated in BSc Zoology from a World Top 100 university, with 2.1 overall, and a 1st class literature review, which is probably the assessment with the strongest requirement for great PKM)
What’s inside
10 video + text lessons, talking through the two main outcomes you’ll need to work towards in your degree - exams and assessments for one, and longer essay/report/review writing and research.
They demonstrate the real methods I used to take notes for exams and assessments, as well as how I gathered and synthesised references and resources and compiled them together in reports and reviews thousands of words long.
Additionally, we talk about avoiding making your degree one-dimensional, so that all you’re doing all day is working (I built the first versions of PARAZETTEL at uni!)
For students who want a proven way to research, revise and write
