Speaker: Ian McDermid, Psychology Student at University of Central Oklahoma

What key challenges did you need help with before you started using Genio?

Ian McDermid: My name is Ian McDermid. I am a psychology undergraduate at the University of Central Oklahoma. I'm returning to school with a pathway to a PhD in research psychology, and Genio has been a real game changer for me as a returning student. I always struggled as a neurodivergent individual to try to split my attention between taking notes and giving my full attention to a lecture or instruction. And with Genio it takes a lot of pressure off of me in order to feel like I'm getting accurate notes and actually connecting with my lecturer or my instructor to learn the lesson so I would have to say that its features and its outlines and my ability to take notes and import slides has been an absolute masterpiece for for studying.
