Final Project Proposal
31 Mar 2026
Problem
At some point every student has pulled an all-nighter, crammed for an exam, or struggled to review messy notes. Not to mention the challenge of scheduling classes, fulfilling graduation requirements, and accessing required materials. Moreover, many students have taken a class that blindsided them with unexpected expectations, required readings, and material not covered in prerequisite courses.
Solution
Some students ask a friend, others go in blind, or they can access the easy-to-use PrepHub. A hosting platform that prepares students for the rigor of their courses and alleviates academic stress. This resource directory allows students to collaborate, review, and access materials needed for their courses at UH Mānoa.
