Studying vs. Learning
In 2017, I published my second book about how to be a successful student. Different (I believe) from the banality of ordinary student success advice, I prepared something based not only on my experience as a teacher and clinician, but also on research. I wanted students to know that the ideas are not just my opinion. They are substantive from both and educational point of view and a psychological point of view.
​
Here is the blurb on the back of the book:
​
"If you want to maximize your learning and success in college, you need quality thinking skills, learning skills, and psychological skills far more than you need studying tips. This book will help you develop those skills, making you more confident, efficient, and productive. It is a practical guide to developing essential skills for college, many you have never learned about before, with straight-forward suggestions you can put into practice right now.
​
When life is tough, you don’t make flashcards and memorize definitions. You need the personal skills and habits described in Studying vs. Learning to deal effectively with difficult circumstances, inside and outside of school."
​I don't presume to know the needs of everyone, and many students are already well-equipped to succeed in college. However, if you know someone who is about to embark on a college journey, perhaps this might help.
