How undergraduate students are staying on top of their reading materials

Undergraduate students are a unique [breed] of academicians, who find themselves at the middle of the transitional state, from a curriculum-restricted learning process to open and unrestricted learning. The ocean of knowledge may open up a lot of new shores, but scaling the waters is a challenging task in itself. Here’s how our intuitive assistant [QuestionMe], helps you navigate the sea:

Finding Relevant Reading Materials:

Undergraduate students often spend the majority of their time shuffling shelves, or wearing their eyes out going through thousands of pages of online literature. Oftentimes, they might stumble upon something that is entirely different than what they had been searching for. And while such a serendipitous expedition is not necessarily a bad thing, it is inconvenient if it is not merely an exploratory activity. [QuestionMe] helps students find their desired reading materials quickly and reliably, by enabling them to search from a plethora of topics, pages, files or even with the reference of a particular heading or an image that they can relate their curiosity to.

Connecting Reading Materials:

As the path for scaling the terrain to knowledge is not conveniently laid out, undergraduate students may have difficulty in connecting different reading materials and seeing the bigger picture. [QuestionMe] helps identify connections between different reading materials and literature sources, by utilizing effective data ingestion pipelines and appropriate database-structures for efficient storage and retrieval of requested data. This also assists individuals with a knack for research in citing the relevant sources that inspire their novel work.

Understanding Complex Reading Materials:

Undergraduate students often need to understand complex concepts in their field of study. This can be not only difficult for students who are taking their first few courses in a new subject, but also make the process of understanding interdisciplinary topics a challenging ordeal. [QuestionMe] can greatly simplify the process of understanding complex reading materials, by cross-referencing and summarizing large volumes of text on a particular topic, and personalizing responses for audiences with different levels of knowledge using simple prompting.

Retaining and Recalling Information:

Retaining information from a vast collection of reading materials is difficult for undergraduate students, as they are exposed to a large number of new topics, that too over a very short period of time. As such, this might encourage a counter-intuitive culture of extensive rote-learning, and inhibit proper understanding of topics. [QuestionMe] comes into rescue by enabling recall of information by simply asking for it, be it from a single topic, page or image, or vast collections of the same. [QuestionMe] does all the necessary heavy lifting in order to unravel the finer details as well as the bigger picture, as per the needs of the aspirant.
