Combine tools as you study
You can generate more than one tool from the sources in a Student Space. For example:
- Create a Study guide to review the main concepts.
- Use a Mind Map to explore how those concepts connect.
- Practice important information with Flashcards.
- Complete a Quiz to identify gaps in your understanding.
You don't need to use every tool or follow a fixed sequence. Choose the tool that supports your current study goal.
