If your question isn't among the questions below, just (Page does not exist) us.

Files

• Question 1 - I have a file that some people might find helpful. Can I place it on this website?
• We always like it when our visitors try to improve this website. If you think your file can improve this website, please send it to us. If we agree with the contents of the file, we will place it.
• Question 2 - I detected an error in one of the files on this website. What should I do?
• Please contact us immediatly. We try to keep as few errors in our files as possible, and any error less is always worth the effort.
• Question 3 - I'd love to see a certain file/summary on this website. Can I request it?
• Sure you can! If there turns out to be a couple of people hoping for a certain summary to appear, then we might just make it. Just let us know! The forum is a good place to do this, or otherwise there are various other ways of contacting us.
• Question 4 - Where do all the summaries on this website come from?
• All the summaries on this website are (unless specified otherwise) made by students. Most summaries are created by the creators of this website, but various other summaries are send to us by other enthusiastic students.
• Question 5 - May I print the summaries on this website, put them on my own website, and such?
• All our summaries are freely available on this website and they are made so that they can be used. So you're definitely allowed to print them. We'd also love it if you spread our summaries around, for example via your own website. However, the goal of these summaries is to help students, without a price. So you may never ask any money for spreading our summaries (or at least, not more than it costs you to spread it).

Accounts

• Question 1 - What can you do with an account?
• The most important use of having an account is that you can access the forum. On the forum you can ask questions, answer other's question, or just talk. But having an account also provides various other benefits. But what benefits I'm talking about is something you simply have to find out by creating an account.
• Question 2 - Does making an account, or anything else on this website, cost anything?
• No! Everything on this website is free. Please let this website help you, since that's what it's made for. And even if we eventually might offer things which have a price (which has never happened so far), we clearly indicate this. For now, just sign up and enjoy from all the free benifits you will get.
• Question 3 - When I sign up, what happens to my data?
• You don't have to worry about your data. It's not going anywhere except in our database. The only reason why we ask for your email address is to prevent people from easily making a lot of accounts, which makes the database rather messy.
• Question 4 - When logging in, I checked the checkbox to automatically log me in. Can I undo this?
• Of course you can. Since you checked the checkbox, our database keeps an eye out for your computer. As soon as your computer visits this website again, the script automatically logs you in. To undo this, you simply have to click the Log Out button. This will cause our database to forget about your computer.
• Question 5 - I've forgotten my password. How can I get it back?
• We can't simply tell you your password, since we don't know it either. However, if you go to the log in page, you will see a link "Lost password?". Click on it and follow the instructions. Then you can change your password.
• Question 6 - I've forgotten my username. What should I do?
• When you signed up, you have entered an email address. If you have forgotten your username, then send us an email from that email address. We will then look in the database what username corresponds to your email address, so we can remind you of your username. (This is not an automated process, so don't expect an instantaneous reaction.)
• Question 7 - I've forgotten both my username and my email address. What should I do?
• I'm sorry, but the username and the email address are the only two things that are unique for an account. If you have forgotten about those two things, there is no way in which we can recognize your account. We regret to tell you this: We can't help you this time.
• Question 8 - I want to change the email address I entered when I signed up. How do I do this?
• To change your email address, first make sure you are logged in. Then go to the "account settings" page (under the heading "interactivity"). You will find a form there with which you can change your email address.
• Question 9 - I want to delete my Aerostudents account. How do I do this?
• We regret it that you wish to delete your account. But if you are sure you want to delete it, then log in and go to the "account settings" page. You will find a form there with which you can delete your account. Just follow the instructions. And we hope you have a good life without the benefits of having an Aerostudents account.

Education

• Question 1 - I've got a question about a course. Where can I ask it?
• You can always ask questions on the forum. Just create a new topic, or check if your question has already been asked in another topic. If you find the forum unsuitable to ask your question, you can of course also always contact us.
• Question 2 - There's a certain course I just can't get a hang on. Can you help me?
• Of course we can always try to help you. If there are specific parts you can't get a hang on, just go to the forum to ask questions there. I'm sure there will always be people around willing to help you out. However, if it's the entire course you're just lacking an overview of, then also create a topic on the forum, asking for help. If there are multiple people with the same problem, we can organize a study day to help everyone out.
• Question 3 - There is this lecturer who sucks at teaching. Can't you do something about that?
• I'm sorry, but we don't have any control on who is giving lectures. So we can not help you on that. But if you really want to do something about it, talk to other people (in real life, or on the forum) to see whether they share your opinion. Multiple persons stand much stronger than just a single one.
