Prima en overzichtelijke website. Het aanbod is voor mij ruim voldoende.
Ik maak vaak aantekeningen tijdens colleges of vind het fijn om samenvattingen te maken van boeken. Aangezien ik deze toch al maak kan ik ze net zo goed verkopen via Knoowy om het zo voor andere studenten makkelijker te maken en er wat geld aan te verdienen.
Knoowy is een aanrader! Handig voor het laten controleren van verslagen. Aanbod is ook goed.
Makkelijk en snel geregeld. Het was voor mij de eerste keer dat ik Knoowy gebruikte. Wellicht maak ik er in de toekomst weer gebruik van.
Ik help studenten met het leren van de Spaanse taal. Het is voor mij een leuke manier om wat bij te verdienen en bovendien fijn om wat voor anderen te kunnen betekenen!
Fijn dat andere studenten samenvattingen verkopen die ik kan gebruiken voor mijn studie. Op Knoowy vind je goede hulp voor je studie.
Knoowy is een prettig platform voor het kopen en verkopen van aantekeningen en samenvattingen.
Ik ben tevreden met Knoowy, door jullie kan ik wat bijverdienen en tegelijkertijd mijn geheugen opfrissen. Zo blijf ik ook tijdens de vakanties nog bezig!
