This one here is the perfect fit for those who have a hard time recollecting something they have just learned (yours truly included).

Grammarly

What’s it for: To enable improved, error-free writing, and also to point out errors in write-ups, if any

Grammarly will get activated as soon as you start your write-up, and work on the content side-by-side as you write. You will also get simultaneous notifications regarding the errors and possible remedies to them.

Strict Workflow

What’s it for: To keep you from using a set of some specific ‘time wasting’ websites, and distracting yourself

chrome-extensions-for-students-strict-workflow

Procrastination is a given when you’re studying. How not to fall into that trap?

Enter Strict Workflow. This extension works on a process that gives you zero access to those sites for a pre-decided amount of time, and then gives you some time off (again, pre-decided) to let off the steam before once again blocking then access to those sites.

You can select the working time, break time, as well as the sites you need to get blocked. And remember this extension would only stop the work-break cycle only if you disable it.

Split Tabs

What’s it for: Quick opening and arrangement of multiple tabs, also to split screen between two tabs in some cases

Split Tabs facilitates multitasking by enabling quicker opening arrangement, navigation between multiple tabs in a window. Also, if you are a Mac OS X or Windows (7 and above) user, you can also perform the basic split-screen feature (between two tabs), by dragging both the tabs to the far left and right of the screen.

Announcify

What’s it for: Providing an option for you to listen to the web page, rather than/in addition to reading it

Constantly viewing the screen can prove to be strenuous to your eyes, causing great harm in the long run. What Announcify does here provides you with an option to listen to the web page, rather than reading it.
