I think it’s very important, especially as a student in higher education, to know how to study effectively.
Many students coast by and can make it as far as graduating high school without learning how to learn, choosing to use pure rote memorization and/or their natural intelligence. Often these students are shocked when they enter post-secondary education and they can no longer rely on their old study habits.
I am a firm believer in evidence-based studying techniques. Here are some study tips and research that backs it up.
