Socratica is now an Amazon Influencer

We're setting up our Amazon Influencer page w/ book recs https://www.amazon.com/shop/socratica

Socratica doesn’t have any beauty recommendations for you. 

It’s fun, we just don’t have anything to contribute here.

  And we don’t do Follow Me pictures.  We’re mostly sitting at our desks, working. 

Kudos to Murad Osmann for popularizing this new style of photo.

  But we can recommend great books ALL DAY LONG.

  THIS we can do!

  I thought “Influencer” was a term only used for YouTube vloggers…

Between us, the Socratica team has a LOT of experience points – both as students and teachers – we’ve learned a lot about how to be do well in school. That collected wisdom is what we’re trying to share in our Study Tips series.

We recently received a question from one of our viewers, Tracie Parks, about our Cornell Notes video:

  Tracie found our video about how to take notes helpful, especially because it shows HOW someone would take notes during a lecture, using a specific lecture!  This video features one of our videos about the History of the Atom as an example.
