Ending the university lecture cycle I've stuttered since I was young ( I used to carry around a pencil and paper and pretend I’d lost my voice lol), so you can imagine university lectures were a nightmare for me. I always had questions but would never speak up. I'd try to email my professors after class, but I'd often forget. I spoke to my friends without speech impediments about this and they felt the same awkwardness about asking questions. Because asking questions during lectures is just inherently awkward. You’re new, unsure, and there are so many people. It’s like phoning the doctor or sending your food back—things that should be simple but aren’t. So, I created q+a to help people like us (and everyone else too!). Here’s what it does: 🟠 Allows students to ask questions LIVE and anonymously. No more anxiety about speaking up! 🟣 Ensures a safe space by letting lecturers see who’s asking questions, preventing misuse. 🔴 Coming soon: A feature for lecturers to respond to questions after class, saving everyone time. Check out https://qplusa.co.uk - Give it a try and let me know what you think (even if it’s to tell me it sucks)
