he is a great teacher>
I really enjoy this class. I feel that Dr. Elawad loves teaching the course and it makes the course much more enjoyable. He is a great teacher and is really intelligent. I would definately recommend his class to others. :)
Dr. Elawad is a very good teacher, and he is very knowledgeable. Also, he cares about his students
great class makes learning the material easy and gives good visual dimistrations on how this work
Great teacher!
He made biology in a whole new light
I think Dr.Elawad is a fantastic teacher. He knows Biology inside and out and he goes out of the way to attend too and care for his students. He shows that he cares about the needs of his students and truely wants everyone to learn from this course. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to take his class! Keep being the wonderful person you are, Dr. Elawad!
Dr.Elawad is a wonderful teacher who cares about his students and has a love for biology. I enjoy coming to class every week because I know that I am going to be engaged in the learning process. Having a teacher who truly enjoys teaching makes a world of difference.
DR. Elawad is a great teacher ,I love how he teach and he believe in the best for his students.
Dr.Elawad is a very nice and very helpful. I really enjoy this class at first I thought I was not going to like it because it was on Saturday but I really enjoy coming. Dr. Elawad you are the best. :-). The material that we use in this class is very helpful and knowlegdeable.
I personally think this is way too much information to to be an on-line course. I would not suggest to anyone to take this on-line.
Very nice professor who seems to have the best interest at heart for the students, however,he is too softspoken and hard to follow as far as note-taking. The book was not used in the class, and after having spent a large amount of money for the book I expected more usage. I find Dr Elawad more than fair as far as allowing for extra credit.
Dr. Elawad is one of the nicest and most gracious teachers I have ever been privileged to meet. He is always willing to help a student out no matter the situation. He is a true example of how we as people should treat others.
dr. elawad is an above average professor, the time and care that he puts into his teachings and students exceeds any expectations that one would epect from a college profes. i am grateful for dr. elawad and look forward to taking him in the near future.
Greatest Class Ever.
Dr. Elawads class is extremely helpful. I haved learned more in his class than in any other class on campus.
Dr. Elawad is a very nice individual who appears to be very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the subject of biology.
DR. ELAWAD IS A WONDERFUL BIOLOGY TEACHER. WHAT CAN I SAY I LOVE THE GUY!!!! HIS CLASS IS EASY IF YOU READ THE CHAPTER AND DO WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.
Dr. Elawad is a wonderful teacher. He is very knowledgable about his subject. He is always willing to help his students no matter the circumstances. I would highly suggest taking his class; you will not regret it! Thanks Dr. Elawad for all your help the past two semesters. You are such a wonderful, kind man.
Dr. Elawad is a good teacher that is really interested in the what he teaches and the students success as well. We need more teachers like him.
Dr. Elawad is the best teacher that i have ever had. He makes the course interesting and fun because of how excited he gets when he talks about it. He always does everything in his power to help one of his students. He is always smiling and makes you feel welcome and happy about his class....unlike a lot of other professors. He is a wonderful teach
Dr. Elawad is very enthusiastic and knowledgable about the course material. He is extremely friendly and willing to provide assistance if you need it.
Dr. Elawad is very helpful. He wants his students to do well in his class.
I took this class on Saturdays. I recommend buying all the textbooks for this class, esp the study mate. A lot of the questions from the study mate are on the tests. The tests were on the hard side but make sure to use all your resources and you can get an A too! I took this class a transient student, I needed to fulfill my science requirement!
Dr. Elawad has been a really good Biology teacher. He is always helpful, willing to answer any questions anyone has. I recommend buying all 3 of the the 3 books required, because they really do help a lot. I also recommend anyone taking Biology to take it with Dr. Elawad.
I REALLY ENJOYED THE CLASS. THE PROFESSOR WAS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT THE CONTENT. HE IS ONEOF THE SMARTEST PROFESSORS AT THE COLLEGE. hE DOESN'T EVEN NEED A BOOK OR POWERPOINT TO TEACH.
I really enjoyed this class. The professor was very knowledagle and able to make this subject interesting even to those who did not have an interest. He is one of the best professors that I have had here at CVCC.
Dr. Elawad brings excitement to class and always has a smile on his face. He is always willing to help students any way possible and he will go out his way to do so.
This instructor is nice and helps when you have questions in class. Only thing I had a problem with was I emailed and called him and at that time he never emailed me back and when I spoke to him on the phone I felt as if he didn't want to help me and suggested I talk to my class mates. Overall he is a good instructor.
Dr. Elawad is a great teacher! He made Biology fun and interesting. After class I went home and told my family the things I learned and Dr. Elawad's stories. I enjoyed his class very much.
took summer on sat. morning and did not have the time to go over what he wanted to and on the test the book and notes were no help. all students didnt do good low C high D. but we did get a lot of extra creidt. about to take final
Dr. Elewad is an extremely helpful, knowledgeable instructor.
Dr. Elawad knows biology very well however he seems to be slightly unorganized. His test are pretrty difficult and only cover parts of his lecture. He is a extremely nice guy though.
Dr. Elawad is a good teacher. He is very dedicated to teaching and helping his students in the classroom. He takes time out to help students study and he also gives extra assignments for extra points at the end of the term. Overall I would recommend this professor for any student who wants a caring an passionate teacher about his work.
Dr. Elawad is a really good Biology teacher. He is always helpful, willing to answer any questions you have. I recommend buying all 3 of the the 3 books required, because they really do help a lot. I also recommend anyone taking Biology to take it with Dr. Elawad. I will definately be taking Biology 104 with him.
He is a good person and and is very helpful. He is a little disorganized but gets the job done. He knows his biology though. We had fun in his class over the summer. Some of the material that was on the test we did not go over in class. I like having the online test though. The test were a difficult. Over it it was a good experience. :)_
HIS CLASS IN A INTEREST AND ELWALD IS A EXCELLENT INSTRU
Teaches very good, but his tests are very challenging. He answers and explains questions very well. Just know that his testing are somewhat difficult.
He is very helpful and available all time no matter when needed.
Dr. Elawad is a good teacher. But I feel that the books were not used enough to fully understand the material. He is very soft spoken so when it comes to lectures your on you own to figure out what to study.I would say take the class. Do all assignment even the extra credit and you will pass.
He is a really good teacher and he makes sure you learn the material. I would advice anyone taking the class to get all three books. They are really helpful on the test.
Dr. Elawad is a very good teacher/professor. I would recommend his classes to anyone needing to take biology. The summer course is too short to adequately absorb all of the information, especially with a hybrid type class (taking math 100 at the same time also made this tough).
I am a part time student and my course load was that of a full time student. I work full time and didn't have the time in a day to accomplish all the work and study required by syllabus. I recommend the school board take a look at how it places responsibility and course load on the working class and those students that have jobs and family.
He was very helpful when you asked questions. He seemed a little disorganized. When I emailed him he did not email me back. Getting in touch with him outside of class. i think i mad a C. it was a good class but the test were hard.
This class was a great class. It worked out great with my schedule being that the class was on a Saturday. Dr. Elawad was very flexible and very helpful in every way. I wish more of my professors where like him.
very helpful, nice and polite. He will work with you in your academic goals
Dr. Elawad is by far the most outstanding professor at CVCC. He knows his material and truely cares about our education. I highly recommend anyone needing Biology courses to take his class. He is well organized and has an interesting and tactful way of teaching the material. Even if you aren't interested in Biology, you will be after this course.
Dr. Elawad is a very good teacher. He is very knowledgeable about the material and makes it much more interesting than it would be otherwise. The tests are somewhat difficult but can be made easier with the help of the study mate.
Dr. Elawad is a great teacher. Im prob am going to fail this class but not because of the teacher. The information giving in class was great but when i went to take the tests very little of the notes I took where on the test. The tests are hard which I understad because there open book but maybe going over things in the book also would help
Dr. Elawad is a very helpful teacher and will do anything to help students make good grades, but this does not mean that you do not have to try or that he will not fail you.
Dr. Elawad is a very good teacher, he's very nice. The tests were very hard. I didn't feel like the material that was given to us was enough for the tests. Overall it was a good class just hard.
Dr.Elawad's Biology course is a COLLEGE course - which means it comes with a work load, especially when taking it during the summer. The tests are difficult, but appropriate. He's a great professor who is very committed to each & every student. He encourages visiting during his office hours for help & gives extra credit. I recommend this course.
Dr. Elawad is an outstanding professor who goes above and beyond to make sure his students are taken care of. All lectures covered the material well and there were plenty of opportunities for questions, all of which were answered in a swift and consise manner. I totally recommend this professor for any biology course! Awesome Instructor! A+++++++++
The Instructor is a really good instructor . He works with you, helps when you need helps,answer your question when you have a question, and he has been about one of the best instructor i have had this semester. I have also found that the lab mannuel studey mate, and the bio book he requested we have for his came in handy. The books helped me alot
dr. elawad is a great teacher he seems to realy like teaching he is not one of the teahers that makes you feel like your wasteing their time when you ask him a question, he always makes time for his students
I really enjoyed Dr. Elawad class. He really care about his students. A couple of time I emailed Dr. Elawad and he did not response. Also, the online tests were a little hard.
i like biology in generale bacause it is very interesting to know life science and dr elawad is very opened to everybody
He is very cool
Dr. Elawad is a good teacher.
great professor
He was a good teacher and knew a lot about his profession. tough class and learned a lot, just have to study.
sweet
Dr. Elewad is a very good professor. He is very helpful and will answer any questions you may have. He is always willing to provide help to his students. His test are a little challenging though but as long as you use your Study Mate, you should be just fine!
Very good instructor, makes time for extra learning and understanding. Thanks for your effort.
King Solomon, in my opinion... is a very great and interesting instructor. He speaks as clearly as possible and is understandable and comprehendable. He is the Only biology/science teach to make science fun for me since the 6th grade. Im looking forward to joining Salman in biology II the next term.
Dr. Elawad is a very interesting teacher who actually enjoys sharing his knowledge with his students. He is very helpful in class and always has the time to answer any and all questions. I am taking his class as a mini-term and look forward to taking Bio104 next miniterm with him.
I took Dr. Elawad in a mini term and it was great. He is willing to work with anyone who may have trouble. As long as you pay attention to his lecture and take detailed notes, the text book is not needed. The Study Mate and the lab manual are all you need, and you can actually get by with an A without the lab book.
This professor is very kind and wise. He will help you in any way possible. His knowledge of Biology is quite amazing. I would recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Elawad is a great teacher. Very thorough in his lectures and helpful with questions. Accent is lovely, yuou will get use to it over time. Attendance is necessary to get leture notes for test. This class was great and I enjoyed being the spokesperson for the class and would take any class with Dr. Elawad.
HE is a very good teacher the best a done had so far
Ive taken this course at two different universities and this was by far the best.
I enjoyed the way that he expresses the wonderful world of Biology through everyday living. He is very funny and outspoken at times. When I first took a Biology class it was so boring and I really didnt understand or like the course but he has showed me a better way of learning things about biology.Although I had a rough start I enjoyed him a lot.
I love this class, even though it is at the crack of dawn...Dr.Elawad is a great teacher,and cute with his accent...He is funny and charismatic.The tests come right out of the notes..no attendence=no notes=bad grade. I did not buy the book, and never had a need for it.Take your time on tests,most of the info is in the test and always do the bonus!!
Dr. Elawad is a very good teacher. I have learned more in his class here at CVCC than any other class that I have taken here. He teaches very well and explains his sessions very well.I would recommend him fto anybody that ask me about who they should take for biology.
Dr. Elawad class is very helpful. Make sure you read your books for his class.
Dr. Elawad is a fantasic teacher. He keeps everything very simple and easy to follow. He's always open to questions whenever someone doesn't quite understand. Overall he's an excellent instructor and anyone would be lucky to have him.
Dr. Elawad respects students and works very hard to make biology looks easy. He is very helpful. He encourages students to ask questions. He is very knowledgeable and very smart. I learned many things in his class beside biology.
He is a great teacher. He is well organized and gives you many chances to pass the class.
CVCC is very blessed to have such a caring professor. Dr. Elawad cares about his students. He wants everyone to excell and learn biology. There is no other professor that I can compare to him.
Very helpful and will answer any questions! Such a nice person and truly cares about the student's success.
Professor waited till last day of actual class to assign an online test due that night, and a take home test due the next day, the same day as our final exam.
Dr. Elawad is very helpful, and caring to his students. He works very hard to help you understand what your going over in class.
Dr. Elaead is the truth. He is one of the best Instructors I am yet to have. Not only does he does a great job with teaching the material but he is always informing everyone on current events. In order for a person to not pass this class they would have to not do anything.
Great teacher, very helpful, will answer any and all questions. This was a summer course and very fast but he still took the time to answer any questions for tests right before the test, there is TONS of extra credit. You have to study because there is a lot of info, but if you do study then you will be fine. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM
I really enjoyed this class. He is one of the best teachers i have had so far. I learned a lot in this class.
This is the best Science professor I have had since I began my college journey. I am greatful to have him not only as a professor but also as a counselor. He is very caring, thoughtful, brilliant and listening to his lectures are never boring (even when the material is).
I was very hesitant when I signed up for this class. Dr. Elawad is VERY helpful and shows a strong interest in this course. He published two of the required books and answers all questions. He also takes extra time out to help tutoring before and/or after class. He strives for his students to achieve and learn biology. He is the best teacher!!
Would recommend anyone to this class
This teacher is not only a cool teacher, but also an awesome individual. Dr. Elawad comes strong with the teaching skills, but is still able to talk to his students on various other topics dealing with life. This bright spirited man deserves man of the year.
Dr. Elawad is a great professor.He is very helpful and wants everyone to succeed in his class. He inspires me to achieve my goals and that nothing is impossible!!!
Dr. Elawad worked us hard to enstill the principles of biology.
Dr. Elawad is very knowledgeable and very friendly. He makes his lectures very enjoyable. He is extremely helpful. He is all the time available for students.
Excellent teacher and always helpful.
Amazing teacher! Knows a lot about the subject matter!!
Very good teacher! Extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter. Always there to help his students1
Dr. Elawad is very helpful and works hard to help everyone understand the lesson's. Not only is Dr. Elawad a teacher he becomes a friend also.
Dr. Elewad is a great teacher! I encourage anyone who has the oppurtunity to take his class!!
Very easy class. Just about impossible to fail.
He is a very nice professor. He is always available for office hours. I reccomend this class
Nothing else to say.
He was very helpful to answer questions.
Awesome professor, answers any and all questions, knows the material and I would take him again and again if I needed more biology classes. I am NOT a biology major but got an A in BIO103 and I am expecting an A for BIO104, you really have to study but the only way to fail this class is to not try at all.
Elawad is a very patient and helpful teacher. He has a strong love for biology and his students. The only way you can fail his class is if you put in NO EFFORT at all. He encourages & makes plenty of time for students. He gives you all the opportunities in the world and I would highly recommend him as a great teacher. He is overall, a great person.
Dr. Elawad taught biology in a way for everyone to understand, I'm glad that I had an oppurtunity to enroll into his class.
Dr. Elawad is one of the best educators I've had a chance to learn from. He's extremely patient with the class, he's clear with what he expects from you, and he's very passionate about the world of Biology. There are a few occasions when he spends too much time on a topic not related to the lecture, but that's about the only downside.
Dr. Elawad is the best Biology professor anyone could possibly hope for. He is extremely clear in what he expects students to learn and his Studymate is worth its weight in gold! Biology is a very difficult subject for me but Dr. Elawad makes biology fun & easy. I can't think of a single thing to say that could improve his class. Dr. Elawad rocks!
He is a good teacher and works hard to make sure students learn the info, but it is hard for me at times to pay attention. he goes off on some tangents and i lose my focus. Overall though a good teacher.
Dr. Elawad has a true compassion for his fellow man and it is well demonstrated in his teachings. I am not a Science lover, but I loved his class!
Dr. Elawad is knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, and dedicated to his students. He made me enjoy biology even more.
he was a great teacher.
Very friendly and knowledgeable of subject. He is always willing to help his students understand the material
This class was extremely helpful. Dr. Elawad spent much time on each subject and made sure we understood before giving us the test. I plan to have his class for my next biology class!
I really enjoy the class !
very knowledgeably
" A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others." Dr. Elawad is an example of this quotes!
He is a good teacher and he is really helpful to students.
Excellent teacher. He is all for students. Comes to class on time and uses class time for teaching biology. He respects his tudents and treats them as ADULTS. He influenced me to develop more interest in biology and science.
Dr. Elawad is one of the best professors I had ever taken a course with. He is courteous, knowledgeable, respectfull, and down to earth. He treats students the way a store manager treats his customers. This is the second course I have taken with Dr. Elawad. I will tell all my friends to take biology with Dr. Elawad.
Good professer

The class was very interesting, The professor was extremely knowledgable in the subject matter. One of the best profeesors I have had since attending college.
Be honest and objective in your assessment of a professor; Limit your comments to a professor's professional abilities; Proof your comments before submitting. Include any piece of identifiable information for a professor that would allow someone to contact the professor outside of his/her school.
Very awesome teacher!!!
Dr. Elawad is a great teacher and keeps the class interesting. If you pay attention and attend class you will learn everything you need to know for your test. He answers all questions and make sure you understand before class is over!!! Dr. Elawad YOU ROCK!!!!!
Dr. Elawad is a great professor and I would recommend his class to anyone needing a Biology class. I just finished with Bio-104 and learned quite a bit. I think the study guide and the lab book were essential tools to be able to make an A. The biology book by Sylvia Mader however could be a bit confusing at times.
Dr. Elawad is a very caring and knowledgable instructor. He provides a comprehensive understanding of Biology. He provides his students with all of the tools and opportunities to be successful as a student in his class. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student in his classes.
He is Great teacher.
He is very professional and cares about each and every student. If you fail in any of his classes you fail yourself for as a professor he will not fail you.
Great teacher !
The Best!!

Dr. Elawad is a great teacher and person. i would reccomend this class to anyone who is interested in science or has to take one.
Dr. Elawad is a great professor! He is very helpful and understanding. If you have a problem understanding anything, he is more than willing to make sure you understand. He does every thing he can to make sure you pass the class!
Mr. Elawad is an excellent teacher. In class, basically everything you'll need to know for test he sums it up. As long as you get to class on time and understand the notes your taking, he really makes it easy. If you find it hard, you are the one who's making it hard.
the teacher is very clear about the subject matter and is very helpful when anyone needs it
Made class interesting. Plenty of extra credit available.
He is an awesome teacher!! I definitely want him for my next class!!!

Awesome teacher, will work with you. plenty extra credit and very helpful
This teacher is very hard at times. He is very helpful with assigning extra credit, but towards the end of the school year he gave a ridiculous amount of mandatory assignments all at once. He made the end of my school year quite stressful.
easy. a lot of extra credit
Very prepared and extremely helpful. I recommend him for anyone who needs a biology course.
He is a very nice teacher and can be funny at times, the class isnt too boring most days and the tests are usually straight from the handout he gives you. he cares about his students and wants you to succeed.

This class was very hard as it was a hybrid class and there was a lengthy amount of information to learn in a short time
Class was interesting
Good teacher but needs to manage his time a little better in the summer. We were behind on learning material and was still letting us go early. By the last week of class we were learning 3 chapters in one week.
Seems to be a great teacher. Also seems helpful, but I never went to him as a resource for help for my own personal reason.
His class was interesting and informative.
Very interesting class, would recommend Dr. Elewad to other students. Very enlighteneing and a good instructor.
I was happy with this instructor, I was able to easliy take notes and retain the information from class without too much extra studying.
Dr. Elawad is the best teacher ever.

He is an amazing teacher. He is easy to understand and explains things very well.
I use to hate biology. But doctor Elawad explains things very well, he gives me a clear understanding.
He is a great teacher. I am just not quite understanding the course. It's not his fault, I'm just slow when it comes to Science, lol. No complaints about him. I just feel like the tests are WAY to intense.
Very good person and teacher
I think he is a wonderful professor. I love the way he explains everything.
He was a wonderful teacher and I wish I could take his course again.

Mr. Elawad really takes his time to explain the information. The only complaint that I have is too much information.
very cool prof! he gave me all the answers for the finals and asked me if i wanna do the irish dance with him!
This professor is intellignt and is passionate about his subject, i believe through this compassion his students are able to learn more extensively.
He gives a lot of extra credit so Its really easy to get a 100 which I'm getting. If you only do the tests and no extra credit and make 91% on each you'll get a 100
He has a really cool accent!
class is ok
DR. ELAWAD IS A GREAT INSTRUCTOR AND THOROGHLY INTRODUCES INFORMATION

I am learning alot by taking Bio 103-2. I had no interest in Science before I took this class. Thanks Professor Elawad!!!

Such a good Teacher! I loved taking this class and wish i could take another one with Him! I have never been a fan of science or biology but he really made me love this subject! Very personable and when i need help he is excited to be able to help. Thank you!
He is the most wonderful professor that I have encountered. I enjoy his passion for teaching. He is funny and makes the class enjoyable. He is knowableable about biology. He answers all questions. He is wonderful.
Dr. Elawad is an amazing teacher. He is very helpful and wants every student to be the best they can be. We do not use the text book very much but Dr. Elawad explains carefully the subject's context and gives the option of the textbook as another study resource. A fantastic professor!
Professor is a a great instructor. If you come to class do all test work and extra credit, then you're good.
Professor Elawad is very smart and transfers this attitude to his students. He is very helpful and very clear explaining the material. Answers every question that students have and try to help students achieve high hrades on class. My favorite Biology professor at CVCC!!
He is a great teacher, very helpful and passionate about his work. It's a pleasure being in this class.
He is very helpful and gives you many chances to help your grade.

Keep up the good work!
He is amazing. love his class and his work is easily just study.
THis is a great class. The teacher makes it very fun and interesting. I highly recommend this course with teacher.
very interesting
The class was tough but iformative. Dr. Elawad does a great job.
Dr. Elawad is very helpful and makes sure everyone understands what is being taught. He offers plenty of extra credit, so if biology is your weakness it doesn't necessarily mean you'll fail. The only complaint I have is that the questions on the test are much more in depth than what is taught in the class, making extra credit mandatory to pass.
It is an interesting class.The professor puts out a lot of extra good material that everyone can benefit form.It is a very good class.
This class was extremely helpful in many ways. Dr. Eluwad is a great teacher who understands what he is teaching and can utilize his knowledge to help us as students better understand him. i sncerely recommend this class
TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! TAKE THIS CLASS!!! TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! Professor Elawad was very helpful. I've only had him for about 6 weeks but before this class I had failed biology three times...I finally understand some of this stuff... PLUS he give plenty of extra credit!!! You cant beat that in a bio class. He makes biology easy to understand
very good teacher! cvcc will miss him.
Take this class!!! Professor Elawad is very helpful and gives you plenty of extra credit to pass his class. THe information can be difficult at times but he is so willing and passionate about his job to where he doesnt want anyone to fail. I've only had him for about 6 weeks but Im pretty sure he's like this with all his classes
He is very helpful I do feel we need more detailed notes on the test so that it would help us know it better when it comes to test say. But he is a good teacher overall and try's to always help when he can
Dr. Elawad is a very intelligent teacher. He is extremely smart in the topic of Biology. I think the only thing that is a down point of Dr. Elawad is that he is hard to understand at times but other than that he is a great teacher.
He is a great professor!
Dr. elawad is a great instructor
Outstanding professor
He is a very knowledgable teacher that sometimes will go on little rants where no one understands him but himself. However most of the time he will stop and explain himself. Very good teacher for the most part.
Overall he's a understandable person.
I really enjoyed having you as a teacher. It was never a boring class. You made it easy and entertaining . thanks for all of the support.
awesome professor! I enjoyed this class and learned so much.
We need more professors like Elawad! He truly cares about his students and wants them to learn and pass. I didn't even need to buy the book because he posted everything we needed online. He is a wonderful person and teacher!!! I learned so much in his class and enjoyed it.
Best biology professor ever!
You can tell that she genuinely cares about diversity and women's rights. I actually learned a lot. It was not a hard class as long as you did the reading. Some of the essays were a little difficult to reach the length, but overall it was a good solid class to take and she was very nice.
When taking Dr. Elawad, I didn't do as well as I could have because I hadn't developed good study habits or strategies. After leaving CVCC 10+ years ago, I earned a B.S. & a M.S. at Troy University. To this day, I often think of Dr. Elawad, being so approachable & intelligent that he authored the lab book that we used for his class
Elawad is a great professor - approachable, intelligent, and cares about student learning. The class is doable if you engage with the materials, which he makes easily accessible. Unstuckstudy AI was a lifesaver for study prep!
