Study Hall @gostudyhall.bsky.social · 1d

Study Hall courses offer the best low-investment, risk free way to start, re-start, or continue your college journey! Where else can you take a college course that starts on YouTube, and only pay for the credit after you've passed the course?

Title card: Study Hall courses
Below is a composition notebook with 4 tabs sticking out. They read: Power and Politics in US Government, Real World College Math, Modern World History, and Intro to Psychology. To the right is a yellow post it note that says "take a top tier college course for just $25." Behind these objects are fall leaves. In the bottom right corner there is a brown notebook, and in the top left corner there is a matcha latte.

It's the beginning of the semester, you have a brand new set of folders and you need to decide which folder to use for each class. Which do you pick for math?

Here's how to turn your data into a graph that's accurate and easy to understand!

Australia has a sizable share of the World’s Deadliest Snakes. This month, we're talking about a few of them with venom deadly enough to keep you from discovering their true nature: downright cuddly little critters.
