| This is a great site... I am
promoting the site to our (high school) teachers ... Thanks for preparing such a
great site. 12/9 I wrote you a few years back that we were using your online study guides for
students out here in Bangkok, Thailand. Since then I have ...joined REED institute
which focuses more on just assessing and supporting a WIDE range of learners. We
now do into surrounding countries as well. ...I just wanted you to know that I
regularly include your website as a resource on my recommendations section of the
assessment.....I don't bother to list individual items about study strategies, and
you have done it perfectly! Thanks so much for making my job so easy... 12/9
I am a curriculum developer ... We
are in the process of developing a Study Skills course and happened to come across
your web page. We were so impressed by the site that we were wondering if we would
be able to link to you in the course itself. Please let us know what your thoughts
are on this and what your policy is as far as archiving is concerned. Thank you
for your time and consideration. 12/6 ed: yes!
From Croatia:
I’m
interesting how computer games affect people. Will I
become more clever if I play for example a strategy game (like
Warcraft) – (game like this need speed and
organization and much theory to learn )? Will
games like this improve my brain “power”? 12/6
How you keep your brain in good
condition? Maybe
I asked a stupid question but I’m desperate because I don’t know what to do… When
I learnt something very well or read some book in that moment I believe that I’ll
never forget that because it is seems so easy, so logical … and than – after only
few months I forgot most of the matter. 12/6
I was wonering if you have any learning strategies for learning
disabilities? I'm more of a visual learner and wanting to know how could I
organize a strategy for my type of learning? 12/6 ed: See our new
Guide on Visual Learning!
Thanks for the food for thought. I'm sure you are aware that the
semester ends next week for most schools so I'm under the gun again.
This being my first semester of 5 to complete this degree, I'm just getting my
bearings about me. Online courses are hard because raising your hand in class is
not always easy or timely. Besides carving time out for me as you suggested
I guess I just really need to break down all the reading and research into bite
sized chunks. (Oh and hire childcare help) Thanks and keep up the good work. Enjoy
Life, 12/3
I have found this
website very useful when I am writing essays. Thank you for all you have come up
with. My one suggestion is changing the format the words are in. Maybe you should
make a chart. They are easy to use and catch peoples attention.
Thanks! 12/2
Thanks for the guides. You've made college a bit, a lot,
somewhat, (really depends on the day) EASIER!!!! GOD BLESS 12/2

I read your mind mapping page with

magazine is a children’s education magazine.

Is this possible? The
magazine prints approx 100,000 and goes to Australia and New Zealand

From England: I just wanted to say what a brilliant site.
I am a mature student with children at university and felt totally overwhelmed by
everything this morning as I can't seem to put enough hours into study and when I
do I constantly think that I should be doing something else in the home. I am in
my third year but have reached this point largely by working late (and sometimes
throughout) the night. I can't do this anymore as I am so tired. Well, I
have just used your planner and have found that it should be possible to
concentrate on keeping the home running smoothly and studying and still getting
time to relax and concentrate on my family. Here goes... I am motivated and ready
to roll again. Thank you so much. I can't think of any improvements.
11/25
From Argentina: t's be nice if everything was in one PDF document, so

This is one of the warmest and giving sites I have come across
on the internet. Thank you so much for loving learning and kids more than results
and test scores. 11/16
I think that your website is
good it really helps me get prepared but I have a comment about this one about the
true/false study guide. You should show examples of the test and how it might look
this will give every one a better understanding on what you are trying to show use
thank you. 11/15
I just wanted to write you and thank you for your website on
math help. I looked through the search engines for over two hours to find help
with one word problem consisting of area and perimeter, but could not find any
examples that even remotely came close to my problem until I found your site. As
an older than average student (OTA) algebra has been rather difficult ( I haven't
done algebra in over 25+ yrs) and finding help is sometimes impossible. Thank you
for your easy to follow instruction. 11/15
What a tremendous learning resource you have there! I noticed a
section on Webtruth. 11/15
I am a learning disability specialist and I am very impressed

Hmm... Have u ever thought of publishing a book? The website is
really good and I loved every part of it. It was more thanhelpful really. : 11/11
What a FANTASTIC site!!!! 11/11
I found your websites to be very meaningful, informative and
most of all practical. I find it unique from other study guides due to its layout,
simple instruction and non-repetiveness. It identifys quite common and often
unoticed problems i.e. Motivational skills. Likewise i most of all like the fact
that it uses examples.
Thank you 11/10
At some point in time, I'd like to use your article "Thinking
Like A Genius" in one of my weekly tips, giving you full credit of course. 11/7
I love your
(Genius) page. It reminds me a lot of this little creativity tool I use --

handy. thanks again 10/31
from Iran...your site about study skill is
very useful for me .so i want you that you mail for me more information about
M.U.R.D.E.R system. 10/24
I have kept your 'study guide' web page site included with our
test taking information. The page is so complete and can tell you have really
researched almost all possible avenues to help students succeed. I am currently
reviewing some of the web pages and links to make sure they still work as they
were intended.
I hope you do not mind if I still have your web site listed as a
great place to gain study skills and test taking tips. If not, please let me know
and I will take it off our Testing Center department hand-out. 10/20
To Whom It May Concern, I found the exercises worth doing.
I liked how you broke down (from what I figured) how to set a goal with reference
to other factors. I have been to tutoring sessions where they have pamplets to
help you study. Even, I have been to different websites and books but I never seen
anything like this. I am writing to say thank you and keep up the good work. About
myself, I am a college student which my professorrecommended this website. This is
a Intro to Psychology class. 10/20
I searched for "making decisions" and your study guide came
number 1 on google. I'm very impressed. I just finished editing the latest issue
of Le Bon Journal - "Life decisions that change your life", a compilation of
stories from various people -- after I had conducted a decision making workshop in
England last month. Your web site has lots of very useful information,
particularly now that I'm a mature student and getting a bit anxious about exams
that are coming up. Keep up the good work ! 10/19
I am sorry to bother you, I just want to say hi, and wish you
all the best. studygs.net is awesome website! Keep up the good work! 10/18
I am a special education teacher at a high school and I wanted
to thank you for your informative website. I have begun requiring my students to
use one of your strategies for studyingeach week. Most of my students are in
regular education classes and they benefit from different strategies, for writing,
reading etc. I have seen a lot of "light bulbs" go on over their heads.
You have a created a great resource, definitely the best I have seen on the web.
Great work. 10/16
...I am an associate professor in the Mechanical Engineering
Department of ..., Indonesia. I came across your website with the help of my
students. As an assignment for my Concept of Technology class, given to first year
students (freshman, in US term), I ask students to collect materials on specific
topics and put them in the form of Power Point presentation. One student prepared
his presentation on the topic of 'life long learning'extensively based on the
materials from your personal website. He did this without asking your permission
of course,in which I owe you an apology. However, the point that I would like to
raise is regarding the excellent things you put in your website with regard to
'learning' and howone should prepare tobe a good scholar. I really appreciate your
sharing of the accumulated experience in life. Thank you for allowing others to
learn from your web site. I pray to God that you will get another kind of 'payment'on
that particularday when you have to end your journey in life. Please continue the
opportunity for others to visit and learn from your web site, thanking you once
again. 10/14
Our college is part of the City Colleges of Chicago system ,
...We would like to provide our students with some study guide learning strategies
options on the web, and the options you provide at your website look like good
tools for our college students to refer to. 10/13
I am a student intern at ... I am working with staff on a list of resources for
our students to use for studying and test taking tips. With your permission, we
would like to use your website "Study Guides and Strategies" as one of our
resource links for our students. We would appreciate it if you would let us know
your response at your earliest convenience. We hope to complete this list of links
by the end of October. 10/6
Your study guide pages are some of the best I have
ever seen. O’ so often I visit a web page and use it but think nothing of it, but
your web pages and guides were EXCELLENT. I would recommend it to any one who is
trying to learn no matter what the subject matter is. From here on out I go to
Joe’s first. So from me to you thank you Joe. 10/6
Quick note as my break is ending to thank you for
your wonderful study skills site. It is informative, concise and seems very
practical. I had been out of school for several years and found a few challenges
to my old habits when I returned as an adult learner. Your site offers several
alternatives and I am going to give a few of them a try as I work towards a
nursing degree. 10/5

First of all, I would just like to say that I have definitely
enjoyed your website. I am a middle school teacher... Currently, I work with 7th
graders in reading...I really do see a real advantage in presenting some of this
helpful information to my students and/or utilizing it for a study club group.
Unfortunately, young people as a whole really do not 'understand' the processes
involved in being good students and realizing how to use those processes. Again
thank you. 9/14
I teach at XX Public School, in
Michigan. I found your website last year and took my students to the web site. I
want to thank you for access to it and let you know that I think it is a wonderful
site, I will use it again... and hope to assist students in better study skills,
thus time management! 9/12
I've returned
to graduate school at 53 and I'm worried about my study skills. I just

Hong Kong Baptist University has established a Development Net
for students in August 2002. Hong Kong Baptist University is a fully
government-funded, non-profit making institution with a mission to provide high
quality education in a Christian environment for the young people of Hong Kong. We
are committed to promote whole-person development. The Development Net is a

students will be listed to encourage and facilitate learning and personal
wellness. We notice that your website has resources that are useful to our
students and we would like to create some non-framed hyperlinks with your
articles. Your permission for us to do so will be much appreciated.8/20
I am seeking permission to copy portions of your study skills
website to include in a... presentation I am giving to teachers to assist them
with improving their students study skills in grades 4-8. Of course I will give
you and your website credit. Your website is wonderful. It is full of valuable
information and it is organized in a useful manner. Thanks so much for all the
work you do to maintain this website. I truly apprecitate it and I plan on sharing
your site with others. 8/19
I was absolutely delighted to stumble upon your study guide
website. I am going back to school evenings in the fall (after 25 years away!) and
was searching for references for adult learners. I have to re-learn the correct
way to study, do homework, and egads! write exams. This will be an invaluable
resource for me over the next three years. 8/19
Great study guide site! I am a high school spec. ed. teacher and
I am going to share it with my students... 8/9
My preservice teachers "will and have" enjoyed the link to your
awesome collection of study guides...
Youare apretty remarkable person. We just received our fifteen
year old daughter's last semester grades for 9th grade which have plummeted even
further in most every subject. Your website is the perfect place for a brand new
start and strong foundation. 8/7
Your study guides are wonderfully thorough, and I look through
them often trying to find information that will help me help students. Thank you
for providing such a wonderful and gracious site. 8/3
I was
researching for a training program that I am designing and I came across your
website, particularly on your article on Adaptive Decision Making techniques. I
tried to research on it some more on the internet but it seems that it's the only
material available that is easily understandable and may be applied in practical
situations. 8/2
I'm a frequent visitor to your study guide web site. It is
incredibly an inspiring site. 7/30
Love your website! I have all of my students look at it and do
an exercise with it at the start of each semester. 7/29
The University of Guam Student Counseling & Testing Services
would like to ask your permission to link your Study Guides & Strategies website
to the Student Counseling website as a resource for incoming and continuing
students 7/27
You have a phenomenal website!!! I was blown away... I was
looking for some material to develop a class for students who are struggling in
the classroom. When I came across you site a couple of days ago, I knew I had
found something that kids can use as a tool for their future success... Thank you
so much for the time and energy that you put into this site. 7/25
Your site information on writing basics is great! This coming
school year my 9th grade classes will be doing research using the methods you have
on your website. It's been quite some time since I taught this. I have reviewed
the procedures in English books but none simplify as well as your information.
Thanks again.7/25
I have read your guide on Terms or directives
for essays, reports, & answering questions on your Web site and I think it is
excellent, especially for new college students who may not have had a lot of
experience with writing essays, and particularly if asked to do so in a testing
situation....I really like how you have given students more than just a definition
for these terms. It is just a great resource. 7/14
We are featuring your site, "Developing Math Skills" in our July
14th issue of Table Topics. Table Topics is a free, daily, online magazine that

Outstanding website! Thanks for the efforts. 6/30
I would like to pass along praise for your
website, www.studygs.net. It is refreshing to see someone who actually understands
the time restraints that working adults are under. With struggling going to school
(online), running my own child care business and raising a family, it truly is
refreshing to encounter effective studying tips. My next semester at Strayer
University begins on June 28, 2004 and I look forward to applying your techniques
to my upcoming segmented semester. 6/26
I stumbled on to your website when I was doing a search ... in
Google. I really enjoyed your website is all I wanted to let you know 6/22
You have compiled a very lovely website with numerous aids that
really work for people. I appreciate that! One thing I noticed on this particular
page (studying with ADHD) is that it seems as though it is directed primarily
toward children. I am an adult with ADD. I have suffered with this my whole life
but it wasn't diagnosed until recently. Mainly because I don't present some of the
more common symptoms of hyperactivity. The difficulty with managing concentration
and focus are something that I continue to battle. It is often difficult for me to
sit through a class for fifty minutes. It would be nice if there were some tips
specifically for adults that could assist them in their quest for focus and
concentration. It would also be helpful if there was more instructors and
institutions that acknowledged adults who suffer from these disorders. It has been
labeled as a children's learning disability but children don't outgrow it. They
become adults with the disorder and more often then not the fail to complete their
educational goals because they succumb to thedifficulty of overcoming the
symptoms. As a child and young adult I was often mislabeled as lazy or told that I
didn't meet the required expectation in terms of adequately demonstrating my
ability to complete tasks. I am in college currently and continue to struggle with
attendance and mycompletion of tasks. I find it useful to take small steps one at
a timein specific intervals in order to yield success. It is a continuous battle
and I appreciate the fact that you are aware of it as a boundary to successful
education.6/19
I am a field supervisor with the Alternative Certification
Program in the College of Education at the University of Texas Pan American in
Edinburg, Texas. We work with degreed people who want to earn a teaching
certification. Surprisingly, many of them have issues with time management and
prioritization of tasks. We have been discussing a planning strategies to address
these issues, so I have been browsing on the Web...Where I found your Website! We
would like to discuss with you the possibility of using the material by including
it in our WebCT coursework. This is a closed environment, open only to students
and instructors for a particular course, and only for the term that course is
offered. It could be updated between every term to reflect any changes you might
have made. 6/17
I am a Lit/Lang/Comp teacher ... your website has tremendous
implications and ideas that I will be using in my class next year. It is
noteducational babble but thoughtful, insightful, and functional help for
teachers, parents, and students. Thank youfor your energetic dedication. 6/7
What's happening mate? Hang on a tic, gotta feed the kangas.
Sorry bout that mate. We're two uni students from down under, Anna and Emma. We

critical analysis of your work? 6/3
Just wanted to say that I
enjoyed your website and plan to use a lot of the information in a freshmen

thank you for your well-organized, content-rich website. I found
it by doing a yahoo search for a friend of mine whose daughter is studying for her
British university entrance exams and only has 3 weeks left but is very
disorganized and worried. I myself am a middle aged PhD student who is
disillusioned and bored - burned out really. after I found your site for my
friend, I clicked on some of your study guides/tips and found them helpful and
practical. thank you for making these publicly available. I have bookmarked your
page for future reference. 5/23

Just a short note to let you know that I admire your Study
Guides and Strategies site. I am the Media Editor for Prentice Hall textbooks in

support the majority of the Geography textbooks used in Higher Ed. Many thanks for

I found your study skills guide on a high school website and
want to know if I can pass this information out to other high schools. It has an
amazing amount of useful information that I have not found as extensively on any

without any fees? Any information you can give me will be tremendously helpful.

love the quotes ! I would give full credit and include your request to check the
site for up dates. Thank you 4/23

Internet Resource of the Month
By
Pat Gottschalk, Learning Skills Instructor, USAFA : takes you to the university's
Study Guides and Strategies page where you will find easily navigable links to
titled categories such as "Preparing to Learn" (with information like "Thinking
Like a Genius" and links to self-assessment sites); "Writing Basics" (where you
can click on Print Bibliography and use a link that takes you to noodletools.com/quickcite,
a simple-to-understand MLA and APA usage guide); and "Webtruth" (with links to
subtitles like Citing Web Sites, Netiquette, and Designing Web Sites). There is a
"Math and Science" category, for the math-challenged like me, which includes a
math bibliography and links to on-line web help. A further sample of other titles
is "Preparing for Tests" and "Taking Tests" as well as one labeled simply
"Studying". Many of these pages include a pertinent quote, found in the top
right-hand corner of the page - a bit of trivia that is an enjoyable add-on to the
information. Listed on the left side of the home page are further links to
everything from a general search engine (similar in appearance and use to
google.com) to the study guides made available in 18 separate languages, great for
use by international students. (This is a "wow" feature of the site - languages
represented range from Spanish and French to Arabic, Czech, Russian, and Chinese,
to name a few.) The site was developed and is maintained by Joe Landsberger of the
University of St. Thomas, who has a "vanity page" link which includes not only his
study guides but personal information, pictures, and poetry.

downloadable graphic organizers for students to use in planning their own projects
and assignments. Joe Landsberger, from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul,
Minnesota, created and maintains Study Guides and Strategies. Users have
permission to "freely copy, adapt, print, transmit, and distribute study guides in
educational settings to benefit learners." From studying with ADHD to organizing
group projects to following the scientific method, this site covers it all. The
section called Webtruth provides information on distinguishing the value of
material found on the Web and citing Web sources correctly.

Family Fun Magazine, September 1999:
The group of Study Guides hosted by the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul,
Minnesota, is even more comprehensive. It covers goal-setting, managing stress,
paying attention, memorization techniques and more. Although it is written for
college students, parents can easily adapt the guidelines here for children of any
age.

homework seem cool with the use of funky graphics or groovy fonts. It's all-text

Itcan help me plan and monitor projects and improve my decision-making process.
Icame acrossthis siteon (my) college's adult education web page when looking for
home schooling ideas for my 16-year-old son. Public schools don't do a good job of
teaching students how to think and study before immersingthem in education. I am
trying to figure out how to adapt the ideas available here for my six-year-old
grandson. He is off to a bad start in kindergarten and may have to be home
schooled due to bi-polar disorder. 4/2

I want to thank you for your excellent website and for being so
gracious to allow the material to be copied and used... I am a member of the core
team developing a Curriculum Design and Methodology course ... have borrowed
freely from your materials since my task is in the area of learning strategies.
... Blessings.
I am a student... and as such I was given this site to read. My
only suggestion is to go over the material listed and check for spelling mistakes,
I found several on the "four exercises in pre-writing" page. Unfortunately for
meas I am reading,and I happen to stumble across a spelling error I lose
concentration, and must re-read the material in order for it to make sense. It
also lends credibility to your hard work. Thank you in advance for giving me this
opportunity to offer a suggestion. 2/11 Ed.: done!

I was looking for information to help my 15
year old son to learn to study and am so happy to have found your website full of
this information. I recently realized that part of my son's problem is that he
just doesn't know how to study properly. He does poorly in school and I am always
looking for ways to help him to succeed. I would like to see schools teach a
course in study and organizational skillsbecause I am sure many kidshave problems
in these areas. 1/31
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. Currently
we have about a month to go to get resources and classes ready for the 2004
academic year. Since our classes contain many international students from a

helpful articles. Thanks a million! I'm a freelance writer and always on the

your hard work and generosity in sharing it. 1/11
