Document Summary

While some students and teachers are bad at learning and teaching, but its not a function of the mode of the presentation that"s making a difference in grades. Doodling can help you pay attention: does not take much mental effort, combination of doodling and listening allows for person to not get mentally fatigued. Students gage interest depending on what is important: take a note, surf the web, then come back to take more notes. How much to study: spending > 20 hours per week outside is not enough. Reading, writing, drilling, discussing: most people do not study enough. Can"t use your peers as examples: study in groups. Time management: key to success, start of every day, mark off every hour (on a spreadsheet, look at your to do list and fill in the half hours, stick-throughout during the day, leads to happiness. Half-hour methods: benefits: if you work on the task every day, it stays active in the memory.
