Why Study Skills For College Students?
"Most university students have never been formally taught to learn how to study, either in high school or college.“Gardner, L. (1998). Why we must change: The research evidence. Thought and Action. 14 (Spring), 71-88
“Many drop-outs and flunk outs are bright enough to do good college work, but have never learned how to study effectively, nor how to take tests and do good written work.” Hodgkinson, H.L. (1985). All one system. Washington, D.C.: Institute for Educational Leadership, 17
