Study Skills Resource Guide and Activities

One of the most difficult things for students to learn is how to create a system of studying that works for them. This author for one struggled to find a system that works.

I was a slightly above average student until I happened to have a roommate that had a very unique study system. My roommate would take a day to write down any possible question that could be asked on our multiple choice exams. She would then transfer these to flashcards. She would then commit these to memory. I tried it and guess what? My multiple choice grades soared. At that time, I finally realized that studying is a true skill and art. I was 20 at the time. It took 15 years of school to realize this.

If you take time to help your students understand this about themseleves, you will see a greatly increased aptitude and interest.
