Will MuchLearning help me get an A?

Material and questions throughout this site are based on actual university lectures from high-calibre universities. We do not water the material down like many online services but rather help you reach the level that you will have to attain for university-level credit. We believe the best way to meet high standards is through practice and high-level instruction.

What is the advantage of using MuchLearning.org over reading a textbook?

We use learning techniques that are not possible or at least not common in textbooks. These techniques include:

Hierarchical Learning

We first give you the idea and facts about a concept in the synopsis, then we go into more detail in the lecture material. We then elaborate and allow you to dig in the text material and delve further on specific items in the solved problems. Finally, you can flush out possible misunderstandings in the self-tests.

Curiosity-based Learning

We pose problems and test students throughout the courses. We want them to ponder an idea and even be confused about a concept before it is fully explained. In this manner, students will better understand, appreciate and remember the concepts.

Adaptive Learning

Students learn in different ways and at different rates. They also have various backgrounds when joining our program. We provide an efficient approach that keeps the strongest students from getting bored, and we also have mechanisms to expand the material on the fly so that it becomes accessible to students with weaker backgrounds.

Celebrated Learning

We can log students' performance so they can see their improvement while subscribed to MuchLearning.org. We are also building mechanisms to celebrate improvement and achievement.

Interactive Links

We link the material to pre-requisite material to aid in recall and comprehension.

When should somebody start using MuchLearning?

As early as possible. The idea is to use MuchLearning to reduce the risk of problems with future university courses. To increase your chances of doing well in first-term calculus courses, you should start in Grade 12, during the summer between Grade 12 and university or, at least, at the beginning of the first-term course.

Why should I use MuchLearning?

Students generally struggle in first-year university courses. It is not true that they are a high-school "repeat" course.

For example, the combined dropout/failure rate for first-term engineering calculus at the most universities is between 20 and 25 per cent. Furthermore, most students who passed this first course paid a lot of money for tutors and still got a disappointing mark.

Introductory probability courses are considered difficult because students often lack the necessary math background. Moreover, the combined dropout/failure rate is between 15 and 20 per cent for each probability course taught to computer scientists at most universities.

This is not unusual. Still, calculus and probability are essential building blocks on which much theory is built.
