“Who hasn’t spent a string of late nights preparing for midterms, only to find their mind drawing a blank when it comes time to write? As most students have come to learn, the time and effort invested in studying does not always equate to increased academic success. In university, students develop study habits that work for them, but with unguided development, the result doesn’t always promote the most efficient learning. In an ideal world, time spent studying would directly correlate to knowledge acquired and information retained. However, not all studying strategies are created equal, and many students are left feeling frustrated, inferior, or as if they are wasting their time. The question then becomes, how can students make the most of their studying? Are there guidelines that can help turn those long hours pouring over textbooks and notes into better grades and knowledge?”
