Smart Students Study Less
Author(s): Patrick Sherratt
While many university students are juggling work, family and other commitments with their study, this study guide is designed to give essential information to help them make the most of their time they do spend while studying for exams. It covers the three stages of the learning process - review, retain, and recall. That is: how do we best take the information in, remember it and recall it under the pressure of exams. It is also presented in an easily readable time-saving format incorporating many key words and humorous cartoons so that students can get the information quickly. While primarily written with tertiary students in mind, the information also has appeal to high-school students sitting exams.
