Real outcomes
It's not the theory.
It's the grade.
IR students lose points for theory that doesn't engage Mearsheimer's actual argument, case selection that wasn't justified, or quant IR with weak identification. AskSia tightens those.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For international security I dropped six case studies into AskSia and got a Sia Note grouping deterrence outcomes by structural factors. Aced the comparative essay.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The flashcards AskSia built for IPE covered trade theories, monetary regimes, and key empirical cases. Spaced repetition made the midterm short answers feel like review.
