Working memory
Baddeley and Hitch (1974) argued that short-term memory is not one store but a system with parts that work together: the central executive, the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad.
Evidence: dual-task studies. Two verbal tasks interfere; a verbal and a visual task much less.

i. What goes in the margins
Capture
Notes for every lecture and seminar, a quick-capture box for passing thoughts, and your own EPUB and PDF books split into readable, searchable pages.
Connect
Concept pages in your own words. Key studies, cases and thinkers recorded once and linked everywhere they matter. Mentions link themselves as you write.
Revise
Flashcards with spaced repetition, a list of things you are unsure about, confidence ratings for every topic, and a short weekly review to keep on top of it all.
Write
Assignment planners, reference lists in your subject's style, marks and feedback in one place, and a dissertation planner that breaks the big project into weeks.
ii. Built for your subject
Every subject has its own site with its own notebook: psychology., law., nursing. and so on. The notebook works the same everywhere. The toolkit on top follows the QAA Subject Benchmark Statement for your degree and the way your subject is assessed.
Decision trees Nineteen step-by-step routes through common problems, from offer and acceptance to homicide, judicial review and registered land, each ending in the leading authorities.
Problem question planner IRAC or ILAC structure: identify the issue, state the rule, apply it, conclude, with suggested issues and authorities for each area.
Uncertainty calculator Propagate uncertainties through any formula with a contribution budget and a Monte Carlo check, analyse repeated readings, weighted means and whether two results agree.
Graphs and model fitting Weighted least-squares lines with gradient and intercept uncertainties, χ² and residuals; linearise power laws and exponentials or choose your own axes.
Reaction workbench Balance equations typed as formulas or names; redox analysis; ΔH°, ΔS°, ΔG° and K from standard data; a reagent table with limiting reagent, yields and atom economy, saved to your notebook; half-equation builder.
Formula analyser Molar mass and composition, isotope pattern of the molecular ion, double-bond equivalents, oxidation states, compound data and hazards, empirical formulae from combustion analysis, and an HRMS formula finder.
Open · RSC or ACS style referencing
We only list subjects that are complete or close to completion. Other subject areas are being developed with subject-area specialists, and each one will appear here once it reaches the same standard.
iii. Learn: teaching pages for your subject
Each subject comes with its own set of teaching pages, written to follow a degree in that subject topic by topic. There are 1,487 across the subjects below, and every page has the same shape:
A clear explanation in plain English, with the key idea pulled out in a box and the terms that matter in bold.
Figures and worked examples where a picture or a calculation makes the idea easier to hold.
Check your understanding: multiple-choice and open questions with model answers, to test yourself before an exam.
A reference list for the studies, cases and sources each page relies on, so you can follow them up and cite them properly.
The teaching pages sit beside your notebook, so you can read a topic, add what matters to your own notes and flashcards, and come back to it when you revise. "Full course" subjects cover a whole degree topic by topic. "Starter set" subjects have a shorter first collection of pages covering the core topics. Open a subject to see its topics.
iv. Deeper analysis
Paste any assignment question and get the breakdown a good tutor would give you: what the wording commits you to, the ideas hidden inside it, the explanations to weigh, the traps markers look for, and what your submission needs to contain. It interprets the question; it never writes the answer.
More subjects are being developed with subject-area specialists.
vi. From notes to writing
When it is time to write, Degree Margins gives you free starter templates for essays, lab reports, literature reviews and dissertations. Open them in ProtocolDock Write, the online LaTeX editor from ProtocolDock, the team behind Degree Margins: live preview, tidy references in your subject's style, and nothing to install.
