Part 1: Lazy Student School Hacks

1. Instant and easy bibliography, referencing and in text citations for all referencing types - Citethisforme

2. Quick, easy yet detailed lesson summaries for World History, Biology, Literature, Ecology, Chemistry, Psychology, and US History - CrashCourse

3. Art exploration, explanation and evaluation - The Art Assignment

4. Watch videos from Khan Academy for walk through explanations, notes and practice tests

5. Use Quizlet to create easy flash cards, play memory games and test your knowledge through generated practice tests

6. Use Microsoft Word Notebook Layout - this allows you to write notes easily and place them in tabs, and allows you to record audio - Record entire lessons using this method so you can play them back later or take notes later

7. Use OneNote for notes - a basic way to organize topics is to split subjects up into different tabs - and have sections for school work, assignments, research, study and homework. I personally use OneNote to organize my 7 Cups work too

8. Canva to make quick, easy, professional posters - I use this to make visually appealing posters, cards and notes.

9. Turnitin allows users to submit their papers and automatically creates similarity reports - this is a great program to use to avoid plagiarism.

10. Use this summary of great educational websites

Thank you for these excellent tips! Being a lazy student, I find you hacks extremely useful for me! I am an undergrad student studying finance, so, I often resort to using this useful site to do my assignments. It always works great for me!

For those of you who may be math illiturate like me wink I discovered this great website when I started my second year of college. It is called Kahn Academy and though I needed it specifically for math it ranges in all subjects from all grade levels. I was the type of math student that had to attend summer school my 9th, 10th, and 11th grade school year just to pass math. In my second year of college I had to take triganometry, yes trigonometry, and statistics. I thought for sure I would never pass those classes but to my surprise I passed them both, trig with an A and Statistics a with an A-. It is all thanks to this website for sure which not only provides a visual and multiple ways to solve the same problem, but also multiple video's demonstarting how to solve them.

If your having math trouble, check it out!

I'm not a math person myself either and I have always found Kahn Academy videos so helpful- for math and beyond. Congrats on doing so well in both of your classes- that is truly something to be proud of! :)

Hey there @AnActiveListenerHere!

Ooh - this is a great post.

Thank you for sharing this with us. You listed some of my personal favorite student tools haha. I did want to add on more thing just in case helps you, or anyone else really in general.

Google Calendar​​​​​

Use this to map out and organize your personal life with your school life. Doing this can help you create a really effective study schedule, and productivity schedule. I started it just about a few days ago, and so far Im already noticing how more productive and organized I feel. If anyone needs help using Google Calendar to structure their life or academic schedule out, Id be happy to help! Not many people are aware of this service, or if they are, just dont use it or see much purpose, but it is extremely useful especially for someone like me.

Anyways, I thought Id share this haha. Good luck everyone! :D
