To use FGenEds, students need to upload a PDF file of their lecture slides to the website. The app will then process the file and generate a cheat sheet that contains the main points, definitions, examples, and diagrams from the slides. The cheat sheet can be downloaded as a PDF or viewed online. Students can also share their cheat sheets with others or browse through existing cheat sheets on the website.
FGenEds was created by a team of computer science majors who were frustrated with the boring and irrelevant gen ed lectures they had to attend. They wanted to create a tool that would save them time and effort, and help them pass their exams with minimal stress. FGenEds is not intended to replace studying or attending classes, but rather to supplement them and provide a quick and easy way to review the material.
FGenEds is currently in beta testing and is free to use for anyone who signs up. The app supports various subjects such as history, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and more. FGenEds claims to have over 10,000 users and over 50,000 cheat sheets created so far. The app also offers discounts and promotions for its users from time to time.
