How to study at university, through the whole semester

Studying at university is less about working harder in the last two weeks and more about what you do in the twelve before them. Students who cope well with exams usually do a few small things consistently: they review each lecture soon after it happens, they keep their material for each course in one place, and they test themselves long before the exam instead of rereading at the end.

A simple semester study plan with NotizAI follows that pattern. In lecture weeks, record or import each session into its course notebook and read the note the same day. Do one round of flashcards before the next lecture. When a term paper comes up, import the readings into their own notebook and use the summaries, Ask AI and mind maps to find your way through the literature. Online lessons and videos join the notebook of the course they support.

Exam preparation then starts from a full set of material rather than a pile of slides. Generate the notebook overview of each course, take the quizzes to find weak topics, and work through the flashcards of those topics over several days. The guides below go through each phase: lectures, exam season, papers and readings, and online courses.
