University courses and professional certifications

How to use your own lecture notes, longer classes and the Advanced and Expert levels for degree-level and certification study.

At this level the hard part is rarely the definition; it is connecting a week of lectures into something you can reason with. Santi does its best work here when you give it your material and ask it to teach from that.

Give it your course

  • Create a Study Space for the module and upload the lecture notes, slides or textbook chapters as PDFs (up to 100 MB each). Once processed, the tutor can teach from them.
  • Set your education level in Settings to the university option for your region so the depth and terminology match.
  • Start lessons from inside the Study Space so they stay filed together.

Choose Advanced or Expert

Advanced teaches the derivation and the edge cases; Expert assumes the basics and spends the time on the difficult parts, proofs and comparisons. Use a 25 or 30 minute class for a full topic, or 10 to 15 minutes for one theorem or one procedure.

Work the way the exam does

  • Attach a photo of a past-paper question and ask for a full worked solution, then ask a follow-up on the step you would have lost marks on.
  • After a lesson, ask for a quiz. Questions are generated from that lesson, so they test the method you just learned.
  • Replay lessons the week before the exam. Replays are free, so this is the cheapest revision you have.
