How you learn, study and use AI

Crank Tech is exploring how students currently learn, study and use digital tools (including AI), and where existing tools fall short.

We want the reality of studying: what takes too much time, what helps, what frustrates you, and what you wish your tools did better. There are no right or wrong answers, so please answer from your actual experience rather than what you think you should be doing.
