I am in NYC on a long weekend and came across a fascinating (to me) article/study on how university undergraduate students study. As an educator, it makes me wonder what I could do to better help students with their learning. Could I make changes in the course or include this information in class?
The study is based on STEM students, but the report has information for everyone, I believe. You can jump down to the findings and gain a lot of ideas, or read the whole article and check out some of the references.
Where I found out about it:
What Do Students Do When They Study?

I will be retiring then and moving to Hattiesburg, MS. Some of you may still remember me as "Mr. Blackboard" and a member of the Instructional Advancement Center. I hope I have helped you all in your mission to improve your teaching and your student's learning. It has been, and continues to be, my pleasure.
Sincerely,
