Student Organizers Add the Power of Facebook
With my graduate student wife and two younger siblings all focused on squeezing the last bit out of summer, I was almost hesitant to say that my latest topic was to be online student organizers, Notely and Stu.dicio.us. As it turns out, I was able to enlist the opinions of real live students, without which I would not have been able to finish this article. We set out to find which was the better student application. What we found is that there is really not a better or a worse, but a difference in how you approach studying that matters. Are you meticulous or free form? Are you introverted or extroverted? Do you take careful notes or do you just discuss things after class? (Link: Student Organizers Add the Power of Facebook)
