| My
son...in college found your
site/s and sent them to me; I
teach/train other teachers and
a variety of learners and he
knew that I needed/wanted to
know everything that you
shared.......I'll pass this
info to many other colleagues,
as well. Thanks for all
your input 12/11/00
Thank you for
posting the Study Guides.
I work with a federal program
called Talent Search (for
low-income middle and high
school students to help them
prepare for college)... I
will definitely get a lot of
use from your guides with my
students. 11/24/00

Your website
is a a treasure, Joe.
Thank you so much. 12/3/00
Thanks so
much! I am a teacher and
am writing for National Board
Certification. I have to
convince assessors that I have
contributed significantly to my
profession. Your tips are
what they tell me to do but it
helps to hear it in a new set
of words. Maybe I can do
it now. 11/29/00

| I'm
from Taiwan. I've surfed the
Study Guide pages several times.
They help me prepare my
teaching LD students in
developing their learning
strategies. 11/13/00
Congratulations
on this GREAT web site, Joe! I
took a look at your site after
seeing it listed in this week's
Sunday edition of the
Montgomery Advertiser (through
Dave Farrell's column). I am
sure that I will use it
often. 11/6/00

I
have been using these study
guides with my seventh grade
learning disabilities students.
They have been very receptive
and they love trying out their
new strategies. Thanks!

we
used a lot of your material
today at a midterm review that
my students run
for our freshmen who have never
taken a midterm exam and they
were very enthusiastic
about it -- ... -- the kids
really need help with the
concept of
studying and these materials
are very useful -- they liked
the things
on how to address specific
types of questions --
true/false, multiple choice,
etc. -- I noticed that they
remembered things such as the
idea that more
questions are true than false
so they should guess true if
they're not sure.
They also liked the mnemonic
memory aids -- although I think
they lend
themselves to some subjects and
not to others -- science
teachers seem to
use them well -- they also
liked the tips -- things like
don't ask each other
questions just before the test
and what not to eat and drink
before an exam.
I was surprised that they were
unaware of some of what I
thought was really
obvious things. You should also
stress organization. I find
that my students
are not organized. They don't
save old test and homework
papers and
if they do, they can't find
them. I tell them to make a
folder for each subject
and keep everything in it. That
way, when the exams come, they
just have
to pick up their folder to
start the studying process
instead of spending
an hour just gathering up the
correct material. ...-- Thanks
again for
all the good information

I
am an inclusion teacher which
means I attend the regular
classroom and serve
my children there. However, I
have them all at a time for one
period a day
for Study Skills. We have been
using your wonderful study tips
and test-taking
strategies at the beginning of
each period. For example, one
week we did
SQ3R, focusing on Survey on
Monday, Question on Tuesday,
Read on Wednesday,
etc. I try to spend just 10
minutes to cover a section per
day. I
make handouts which I've
tweaked just a little bit to
fit our situation, and
they put these in their Study
Skills notebooks. They should
have a nice resource
to take home at the end of the
year. What has surprised me is
how receptive
they are to learning these
strategies. They can't wait to
tell me when
they've tried something in the
classroom. Now that's
rewarding! Thanks again
for your good info.

My
wife and I have been truly
impressed with the information
provided in your
Study Guide site and are
currently using some of the
material to assist
our two boys (14 and 12) manage
their studies and prepare for
their High
School exams. My
wife is a high school teacher
and we are wondering if she can
use this material
with her classroom kids and if
so, is there a way to easily
download the
pages for the site, where the
pages can be hosted locally on
the hard drive
of her notebook. We
live in the island of Trinidad
in the Caribbean and on-line
internet access
is not cheap (having to pay
both the ISP and the telephone
company for
the access), not even in the
schools. Accessing the site,
drilling down to
all your hosted pages takes
time using a 28.8 modem.
We are currently
printing the pages. Again
if possible can the pages be
hosted or accessed from an ftp
server? Please
let us know. Thank
you again for this valuable
information. 10/3/00 ftp

| I
am a Junior Business major at
... AL. In my
organizational communication
class we are required to do a

This semester the subject is to
evaluate our ... web page and
compare it to other colleges'
web pages... I came across your
site trying to find what makes
a good web page. I would
love your opinion and
recommendations for our web
page. You have already
been most helpful just with
your site, but I would love to
get an additional view point
from you. My teacher,
fellow classmates, and my grade
would benefit immensely from
your feedback. 11/3/00 |
Your
information on multiple choice
strategies was just what I was
looking for, but, I needed more
explanation of words and
phrases such as
"stem" of the
question, "negative"
and "100%" words and
"look alike" options.
Please explain. 11/3/00 (text

I am a

power point presentation. You
did a fantastic job presenting
your information. My first

is incredible!! It helps a lot.
Thank you 11/23/00 |
I
was recently visiting your site
(22/10/2000) and I was very
impressed with your layout. One
suggestion I have is having a
section on providing students
with a guide to Maths and
Science exams, how to prepare,
tips on keeping 'your cool' and
other various things like that
which students such as myself
would greatly benefit from.
Keep up the good work and
congratulations are in order
for you for your great site.

| ...for
your site as a teacher. I am
working on my master's and was
searching for websites for high
school students so they can
learn to be discerning readers
of information. My suggestion
is to create a version that
would peak the interest of
young adults and provide them
with the ammunition they need
to know how to find accurate
and reliable information. I
liked several pages on your
site and you are now a
bookmark. Thanks again. 10/8/00 |
Many
thanks for this. I like
the content and style and tone,
rather than the usual tedious
and obfuscatory visual
devices. The quotations
are true links into the fuller
pages. I@have spent too
long - now past bedtime -
browsing, but will use and
present to 300 parents tomorrow
night at Year 11 study evening
on stress, exam revision and
progression. 10/5/00 |

a wonderful resource! My junior

it be possible for you give me

saw your website listed in a
computer pullout section of the
Milwaukee Journal. I would just
like to compliment you on your
studying/test-taking
suggestions. Although many of
the points were things I've
been hearing for years in our
language classes, you presented
some of the most clever ways of
doing them I can recall. I'm
going to try out a few of the
suggestions in my classes this
week and see what happens. The
reading-material-in-textbooks
and test-answering skills were
especially interesting. Good
job! 10/2/00 |

I'm
very impressed by your Study
Guides and Strategies site!
Recently I attended a
conference where the presenter
recommended that students read
from a book, close it, and then
write their notes. This
increases the likelihood that
the notes will be paraphrased
and not word for word. Thanks
for a fine resource

you very much for the study

again. 9/14/00 |

in all my years of
undergraduate school? Thank
you so much; this is exactly
what I had been searching
for. 9/9/00 |
| Hi!
I just wanted to let you know
that I loved (and I mean
LOVED!) the site! I was
relaxing after a long period of
studying, just surfing with no
plan at all, and I happened to
come across the Study Guides
site. As I have a very
important exam tomorrow (I'm a
2nd year student at the
University of Ljubljana,
Slovenia), I read the topics
that interested me the most
(e.g. Emergency test
preparation ;)), and I was
delighted! The content is
well-organized, straight to the
point and, above all, useful. I
especially like the fact that
even not-so-acceptable studying
techniques (e.g. cramming) are
presented, along with the ways
to improve them. Maybe you
could add some examples
(pictures would be welcome, at
least to spice up the site),
but even as it is, the site
would get a 10 out of 10 rating
on my list of useful URLs... If
I pass this exam tomorrow, I
think I'll start translating
the content to Croatian (my
native language), so even more
people could benefit from this
material... Anyway, thanks for
putting up such a useful site!
9/6/00 |
| I
sent a note earlier today about
my happiness with this web
site. I was premature
in sending that note. I should
have raved and raved and raved
about the
wonderful information. As I
looked further into your web
site, I
discovered all kinds of helpful
information which either
changed some of
the ways I teach my Study
Techniques class to the lower
GPA kids (2.2 or
lower), or supplemented other
information. I am always
looking for ways
to make my class work a little
better. I teach my kids
flexibility and
change, among other things, and
now I am expressing those same
thoughts in
changing some of the ways I
teach....thanks to this site. I
will refer to
your information often...very
often. Thanks for the unselfishness
in sharing. I am truly pleased.

hi i
really think that putting this
on the internet is really good.
8/12/00 |
| A
little feedback from high
school kids: They like
your page overall because it's
straight and to the point. They
like it a lot better than
"Learning Power"
which is the book that the
course was using. For the most
part, they just want to know
what they have to do in bullet
form, and not have to read yet
another book because they don't
have enough time to read the
ones that they do
have. It was an
overall success for the course
I taught 8/8/00 |
Your
site is amazing. I will make
great use of this in helping
grade eights make the
transition to grade nine. I
would like to see some more
examples or activities to do.
Thank you so much for putting
this on the net. 8/8/00 |

you for the study skills I
thought they were very good
they were short and fun to do.

you a book! 7/31/00

to the 5th ed of my

a high school in ...,
Washington. I am working
to incorporate an extended
series of study skills
workshops with the

component is required by state
law, so should provide an
excellent medium for practice
of specific skills and
techniques. I have found
a great deal of information on
the web, and will direct
students there for self-help
beyond what we present in the
classroom. I have,
however, some concerns about

I
just recently stumbled upon
your website while searching
for electronic falshcards for
studying. Now I know that I
don't even need them. I have
been looking over all of the
info on your site for almost an
hour and I have found it
extremely motivating and very
helpful. I even forwarded the
address to a bunch of my
college and high school
friends. I have always
struggled with studying,
reading comprehension, and
exams.As a freshman in college,
this year I have really
struggled. I think your page
will help me greatly with my
final exams that I have to take
in two weeks. This is probably
the most useful website I have
ever come across! 4/3/00 |
| This
site is great, I send it to
every support teacher I
contact. Thanks 3/20/00 |
This
page is outstanding even though
I am only in the 10th grade my
midterms are overwhelming and I
think this page will help me
a lot 3/27/00 |

participating in the Spider
WebQuest students
and teachers across North
Carolina will have the
opportunity to uncover the
marvel and diversity of
spiders and learn how they can
survive. I think that your Web
site provides a weath of
information that will interest
students as they explore the
world of spiders.... I feel
that your site is exemplary and
would like to include it as a
link in the Spider WebQuest. I
would like to ask your
permission to do so. Thank you
for taking the time to create a
site that enhances education.

I
just want to say that I
personally can understand this
section of influencing
teachers. In college
I needed a B+ for a course I
was taking. No matter how
hard I tried I wasn't getting
the grades that would average
out to a B+. I talked to
the teacher after each test or
quiz, asked what can I do to
improve, turned in assignments
on time, and even tried
studying with top students in
the class. By the end of
the semester I personally know
that I hadn't reached my goal
but when grades came out the
professor had given me the B+
that I needed for the
course. I know this was
only due to my determination in
the class and good rapport with
him. Now I am a teacher
myself (elementary teacher) and
it's true that those who really
want to try hard usually get
the grades they want because
they care about the
class. 3/14/00 |
| I
am a newly certified middle
school teacher in Illinois. I
came across your
"studyguides"
website. It is terrific! I wish
I had that kind of information
as a college student. I am
grateful that I will be able to
pass on your many useful hints,
tips, and strategies to my
students. I know that it will
do a lot of good. I especially
like the way the information is
presented. Thank you for the
time you must have spent on
this. 3/16/00 |
I
am a teacher-librarian
developing library web pages of
Internet sites which are
relevant to students’
assignment topics. The library
web pages will be part of the
schools’ intranet pages. Your
site on study guides and
strategies has valuable
information relevant to the
students’ academic needs.
3/15/00 |
| Your
website was uncomplicated to
use, comprehensive, and
extremely helpful. I
found exactly the information I
was looking for. I appreciate
the research and quality
of contents. Thank you very
much! 3/13/00 |
I
am a grad student.., mother of
two, and Project Manager... I
found your study site by
accident but absolutely love
it. Sometimes I just need
someone to tell me how to jump
the hurdle in front of me -
even though I have done it
before. Life gets busy
sometimes (you can imagine) and
I just lose sight of what my
abilities are. I am sure I will
refer to your page many times
during this, my last year of
my...program. 3/13/00 |
| Thank
you so much for all the hard
work. As a music teacher
overseas, I find this most
interesting and helpful.
Straight forward, to the point
and easy to digest. I have sent
your site around the world
(literally). I know that
my principals will pass on this
wonderful information to their
students. 3/7/00 |
 You
did a great job on this site.
Well done! In fact, it's
a truly remarkable site.
9 years ago I had the
opportunity to spend a
year on a study skills
committee for out board where
we looked at all the best
materials to help students with
their studying (long before the
web!) I know how much
work all this takes and
really appreciate all the work
you've done here. I am
pleased to award your site the Busy
Educator's Award. 3/6/00 |
| I
am quite impressed with the
Study Guides and Strategies web
site (as well as your garden
photos found on your personal
site!) that you have put
together for St. Thomas. Our
students at St. Edward's could
truly benefit from the same type
of web page. (can we
link?) Yes!
2/23/00 |
A
quick note of thanks for the
work you've done on various St.
Thomas and ISS sites. I was
trying to help my 14-year-old
with different views of the
learning process, and came
across the ISS page on
"Learning to Learn".
We both found it very
helpful. From there I
found the Webtruth site, and
was very impressed with the
website evaluation section. I'd
like to ask your permission to
use the PowerPoint presentation
in a class I teach at my local
Junior College. I teach a few
beginning net classes, and
would benefit by being able to
utilize the file. I would, of
course, fully credit you, the
ISS, and the University of St.
Thomas. Yes 3/1/00 |

have been reading through all
your study guides, etc. I think
there excellent and I am sure
they will be of help to me

find this webpage really
helpful and I have made it as
my homepage. However, I have
recently encountered problems
in visiting your different
sections due to the server, but
I have success in visiting

think yours is the best, I hope
in the near future there will
no more such problems to occur.

I
wanted to write and thank you
for your very helpful study
guides. We have used a number
of them for our Distance B Ed
students as well as on the
undergraduate teaching course
at our college. I have edited a
few terms to make them more
South African in tone, but the
content is still fully
there. It was great
to find somebody had already
done a great deal of work for
us. 1/31/00 |
| This
is an excellent website -- We
plan to share some of the tips
with our freshmen who are about
to take their first full set of
midterm exams. I realize that
it is really designed for
college level students but much
of the content can be
successfully adapted for high
school audiences. Thanks again
-- it's terrific! 1/12/00 |

a lot: now I am
feeling more confidant, and I
am not nervous or anxious
anymore because of this.

you for a very helpful and

| I
teach at ... in Southern
California, and saw a reference
to your site in a new textbook
(by Krough) we just adopted for
our non-majors biology. I am
really impressed with your
site! It is well-written, and
very user friendly. I have
called it to the attention of
the other faculty in our
department, because it is so
good. I want my students to
become familiar with this site,
because I think it will be very
beneficial for them. Their
first assignment is to visit
your site and complete the
"setting goals/making a
schedule" worksheet. Many
of our students juggle a pretty
heavy schedule of school, work,
family, etc., and this activity
will undoubtedly make some of
them realize they need to take
a realistic look at time
demands. Congratulations on a
wonderfully helpful site for
students of all ages! 1/09/99 |
Thank
you for the useful information
on using memory
effectively. I am

quite a while to remember new
words, I just seem to forget
them again a few days

might be able to improve
now. 1/09/00 |
| Thank
you. I needed a comprehensive
list of transition words for
tomorrow's writing lesson, and
I was frustrated that someone
did not provide easy access to
such simple information. You
did. I will return to this web
site often, I am sure. 1/13/00 |
