Study Techniques

25 items

Rereading is the most popular study method and close to the least effective, and students keep doing it because it feels like working. Draw a technique and use it for a week on real material. Twenty-five methods spanning retrieval, spacing, explanation and the practical ones about where and when to work. The uncomfortable ones, closing the book and writing what you remember, are the ones with the evidence behind them.
