Student Success Skills

Using Koofers.com

by jennifer
January 6, 2013

Koofers.com is one of the most versatile websites you will find to help you be successful in college. On the Koofers website, you will find:

  • Course information (exams, grade distributions, course notes, etc.)
  • Professor ratings
  • Note taking support
  • Flash card generator
  • A GPA calculator
  • A schedule maker

Of the various functions, the course information is the most useful. You can click on a specific subject to find old exams. If old exams aren’t available for you university, you can also seek out old exams from other universities to use a practice exams. Having old exams is especially helpful as a way of practicing for exams, especially in courses (e.g. math, science) where the content is similar from university to university.

You can also see the grade distribution for teachers for a class you will be taking. The site also contains a teacher rating and pros/cons of the course you are considering.

Koofers also offers an electronic flashcard support. You can create flashcards on line and then test yourself on your knowledge of what’s on the flashcards. This can be an excellent way to prepare for a test in classes where there is a lot of information to memorize.

In a similar way, Koofers lets you take notes online. While other programs provide note taking support, the advantage of Koofers is that it helps you keep your notes organized.

Finally Koofers provides a GPA calculator and schedule maker. Again other sites provide these services, but Koofers is a comprehensive one-stop location for these services.

Koofers is free to use but it does require you to be registered. Koofers is a wonderful site, but it still lacks content for many universities.

  • The biggest improvement I have made this semester has got to be my study habits.  This semester I made it my goal to study more and work harder in school.  I have kept pretty well to my word up till now and I hope I can continue to do so.  Another improvement that I have made this semester that I'm not too proud to say is not going out during the week.  Along with studying, I also made this my goal.  My dad always told me work comes before play, it's such a simple quote, but it's the truth.  If I plan on doing well this semester, I am going to have to limit my "play" to the weekends and work hard during the week.  With both of my improvements being said, it's likely that my grades are going to improve greatly.  I need to have self-discipline in order to complete my goals until the semester is over.  Discipline is something I lack and I also hope to improve as I make good habits in regards to my studies..
