Speakers: Jade Andersen, Student at MRU Mount Royal University
When you first started using Glean, what were the key challenges you wanted help with?
Jade Andersen: Hi, I'm Jade. I currently go to MRU Mount Royal University. I've been using Glean for 7 months, and the first challenge that - the reason I use Glean is for accommodations. I have anxiety and ADD so it's easier for me to look back on my notes if I'm actually recording them, and it helps me study better and it helps me take notes better.
How has Glean impacted your learning experience and how quickly did you notice this impact?
Jade Andersen: So another challenge that is really important for me is tackling my anxiety and having neat notes. So immediately after using Glean, I've noticed that my grades have never been higher. And my stress level have been lower because my notes have been more organized as I can just look back onto Glean and see the slides with the notes with the transcript recording, which has been a huge difference in my notes. I'm no longer scrambling to write as fast as possible to keep up with the professor, because I can't focus on two things like at once like that. So it's so much easier for me to look at and then actually write down the notes at my own pace as it lowers my stress levels. I'm not panicking about it. And I have more confidence studying, so I'm actually able to learn the material and use it in my schoolwork.
Would you recommend Glean to other students?
Jade Andersen: To answer your question, yes, I would recommend Glean to students. In fact, I've already recommended Glean to my friends. Honestly, I think every student can benefit from Glean, no matter if you have accommodations or if you don't have accommodations. It's honestly been a lifesaver having Glean because you can actually record the professor talking and you can record what you want, the notes you want, and it's easier to look back onto the slides and look at the transcript while he's talking. You don't miss anything, which is really important, maybe they have a thick accent or maybe they talk really slow, or maybe they mumble. So it's really good to look back on the recording. So, personally, I think everyone could benefit from using Glean. I'm so happy I found lean. I don't know how good my grades would be without this, so thank you so much.
