I was going to put this at the bottom of the last entry, but it really deserves its own.
Here's some actual advice on learning, not just grades, from Professor Schwartz at Hastings. I don't know if I'd talk to myself in the mirror, but it is unusual advice that I've never seen before. It just might work for someone who doesn't learn by traditional methods.
Excellent counsel for those students who need help with the mechanics of studying efficiently.
