Study Strategies - Week 5

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn … for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.

Albert Einstein

Everyone knows that studying helps you to get higher grades, right? Well, that’s not strictly true. Researchers have found that how you study determines how much better you do on tests. Students who spend more than 30 minutes per week actively organizing the course information get high test scores, whereas students who spend less than 10 minutes per week in the same type of activity do poorly on tests, no matter how long they actually study.

Studying is not something that good students are simply born knowing how to do. If you want to study more effectively, you can learn how. Here are some resources to help you.
