As a college student, you need to balance all of the work equally- your classes, homework, extracurricular activities, internships, projects, and so much more.
All this ends up taking a toll on the best of us, we feel we need a 4-year master class in time management. But thanks to technology and exponential development in the field of innovation, there are applications to help you manage all your work, studies, and stress. These apps not only make your work easy but will also help you to learn something new.
Here is our pick of the top 5 productivity apps for college students:
• Grammarly: Grammarly is a full-featured grammar and spell checker that integrates with almost anything you write- articles, reports, documents, college applications, etc on your browser. You just have to type in any text editor in your browser and it underlines all errors real time. Grammarly also checks for wordiness, incorrect article usage, passive voice and other grammatical errors. It makes writing easier by providing the most accurate and useful corrections and guidelines to improve your writing and proofreading skills.
• PhotoMath: Sick of being stuck in a mathematics problem for hours? PhotoMath is the solution to your problems; literally. It utilises your Smartphone camera to quickly solve math problems. But remember PhotoMath only works with printed text, so it won’t be solving your scribbles anytime soon. You will need a printed sheet of paper or a textbook. You just have to position the math problem you want to solve within the red frame and it will do the rest. Photo Math also includes a ‘steps’ button that can help you through the steps from the original equation to the final answer. It only solves math problems that include fractions, decimal numbers, and linear equations.
• Blinkist: Sometimes you like the book too much, but it takes way too long to read and sadly you keep it back without reading. The Blinkist app pulls out the key insights of the book and explains them in an easy-to-digest 15 minutes book summary format. Each of the key insight is known as a blink. They have more than 1800+ book summaries and it is updated every day. Blinkist is really useful and ideal if you can’t find enough time to read.
• Coursera: It is an online course based app which works with universities and other organisations to offer online courses, degrees, and specialisations in a number of subjects like humanities, biology, engineering, medicine, mathematics, and computer science amongst others. Every course on Coursera is taught by top instructors from the world’s best universities and educational institutions. It includes recorded video lectures, auto-graded and peer-reviewed assignments.
