From Belgium: Fantastic site. Congratulations! 12/17
...amazing job on the website. It has helped me out a lot dealing with my
A-level exams. I find the motivation section more useful thank anything else.

Your website is awesome. I was given the task to look for resources for
incoming Physician Assistant students... before they start their academic year
this summer. 12/13
From Gujarat, India: We have visited your site. We found it Excellent!.
We are very sure that through this, students can make their studies well. 12/11
Just want to send a quick note to thank you for your wonderful site. I face the
prospect of going back to school to prepare for a new career. This is a bit
daunting for me since its been about 15 years since my 1st college experience and
I wasn't that great of a student back then. Your site is providing me with some
valuable tools that are helping me gain confidence in my ability to do well.
Thanks for offering this information! 12/12
Thank you for putting this site together! It is a fantastic resource! My
suggestion would be to add a separate note taking section describing Cornell
notes, Outlining, Mapping, SQ3R and any others you are aware of. Thanks again for
compiling this information!! A teacher in Wisconsin 12/12
Great and helpful information. Do you have a book available? Or any portable
format? 12/11
I am a high school guidance counselor. Your site is by far the best study

en algo. Muchas gracias por existir. 11/21
I found your study guides at St. Thomasback in 2003 and went looking today for
them because we wanted to use your information on "Cramming". I couldn't find the
information on the St. Thomas website. Is it down for the day or has the website
been redone?? Your study guides and strategies information was a helpful resource.
If possible let me know what happened.... thanks, Tina Flores 11/9
We just wanted to thank you for maintaining such a great web
page. We have bookmarked it and plan to use it in our studies. My girlfriend told
me that she wished she had discovered it last year before she finished her degree.
10/29
I just wanted to say how much enjoyed your website! I got there via your study
guide (to which I found my way from McGraw-Hill's Human Physiology website; quite
a journey . . . ). Somehow, anything involving language is easy for me,
butscientific processes are a huge challenge; I can never seem to remember
them.Maybe it's just my 44-year-old brain taking exception to the added workload?!
The study guidegave me some good ideas, though! 10/24
From India: I am 19years young.I am doing my graduation Sir. With God's
grace I luckily found your website. It is helping me to great effect. I am
thankful to you Sir. Not only me my friends also started benefitting from you Sir.
10/19
From India: I would like to praise
your work in the field of creating efficiency in Human Learning. I think this is
most natural aspects which the school or colleges fail to teach the kids in their
early days of schooling, due to which few of them lose interest in studies.
I was referred to Joe’s website by a professional acquaintance.
The points made on each of the study skills points are very good, but I was
wondering if there were any exercises to go along with them to facilitate some
active learning. I’m an academic coordinator for Upward Bound and we like to do
10-15 minute activities (usually written and/or in groups) at each of our tutoring
sessions. Please let me know. 10/12
Personally,I think this is one of the best resources available
for instructors and students. Well done. 10/11
...using your study guides website for student use at a
community college. 10/11
I just find your website! And I wanted to tell you I love it. It
Help me improve my class and time sharing. Not only that I am take the class about
study habit. And your web site is the best. Thanks 10/11
it would be nice if we can printwhole sectionson oneclick or
download them as text files ready to be printed. people dont usually read alot or
dont comprehend alot what they read on the internet. thanks for doing the site
though. it helps a lot. 10/9
With today’s curriculum it is becoming tough on the children to
both play (hocky) and keep their studies up. Not many coaches in the hockey world
takethis serious enough. As a minor coach and working in the school environment I
take pride in children’s education. We are presently preparing toprovide a weekend
class to help our players on studies strategies especially time management and
tips to studying as a child athlete. I have been looking over your website and
like what I see. I am asking permission to use some of the materials on your
website in the class that I am preparing. It will be for personal use with our
team only and not for profit. The only profit will be my players becoming better
students. With all credit going to yourself and your website.Therefore I will
direct them to your website for future help, reference and tips. I can provide
some form of feedback from our parent group if needed. I've seen that you do have
power point presentation upon request, any other materials that you have and think
may be helpful in my quest with this age group would be much appreciated!I would
like to personally thank you for your website on study strategies, it is something
that should be part of the curriculum. They don't do enough of this in school
everything is geared around just teaching the subjects. It truly is an art to be
able to study properly. Thanks for your time and I look forward hearing back from
you. 10/7
I have a degree in education
and tried teaching in the classroom. I found tutoring much more rewarding and
focus my teaching strategies on the learners' learning styles. I don't think I
have the time to tutor solely on my own and would be interested in getting a group
of educational professionals to work with me. I need to spend more time reviewing
your site, but what I have seen so far, I feel, would be beneficial to implement
in training others... 10/2
I want to thank you for sharing
yourself and what you have learned so generously. I am near tears; I am touched
seldom in this way. I am an adult student, I'm a mom of four children, alone in
this world for the most part, for a myriad of reasons. I'm a full time
student,trying to reach goals that I've long heldclose. But I struggle, it seems
with everything, and this is especially truewith learning. It seems like I'm
making it harder than it should be. I'm bright enough, I like to learn and seem to
fall in love easily withmost subject matters, become deeply submerged in study in
almost any subject matter. The information that you have on your website has
flipped an "on" switch in my head.I am hopeful for my learning future having found
the information on the pages you maintain. And so I say thank you. It is more than
words, I feel this deeply and feel like it's important to tell you. 10/1
From Brazil: I love this site. 9/29

The editor of the AP Style Forum e-newsletter sent me a link
to your site. Nicely done web site! ... 9/13
I don't know exactly who I'm greeting although I obviously
know who the "author" of the site is. I just wanted to say I think it quite
wonderful. I write textbooks (laflemm.com) and I'm always looking for sites
that talk about reading and thinking in ways that are accessible without being
simple minded. There actually aren't that many. But this is definitely
one.9/12
I had to write to say Thank You! 9/12
I do a lot of web searching and was amazed to find your site
and that all of your valuable guides were there for free. What a wonderful
gift to all those trying to figure out the world of becoming 'educated'. 9/10
The next page "Learner's Weekly Planner" was a real
eye-opener for me. Itwas a very useful tool, easy tofill inand very
illuminating.My sucess with WGUwill be 1/2 ability and 1/2time management
skills. This was a great exercise!9/9
I am very impressed by your website! Awesome job. 9/8

pertinent information in regards to what I am teaching. 9/3
We have a bibliography of test prep materials on our library
media center's web page and would like to add a link to your web site if that
is permissable. It's impressive! 9/1
I was at your site yesterday and I was astonished by the
array of resources you had there. Having been in education for 20 yrs I was
still impressed... 8/29
Great resource. 8/25
I would just like to thank you for taking your precious time
to create a website dedicated to help students who have difficulty at school.
By the way the site is constructed with thorough information on different
aspects of learning and studying. I've looked for books on 'how to study' and
'improving memory' however there is lack of money. I also want to thank you
for giving permission to copy or print all or any part of the Study Guides on
the website for future references. I am overwhelmed at how many detailed
information is given in this site that it can be a book! Therefore, your time
and effort to develope and maintain the site is much appreciated and
recognized. 8/25
You will LOVE (your) site I recommend on today’s blog entry!
I could spend hours there 8/25
Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you've put into
your web site. I teach business law and paralegal students andoften use
thisresource. My learners who use the web site are more confident and
organized because of these resources! 8/24
I find this amazing that I can do a search on the internet
for transition words and get your site. This is truly remarkable. Thank you
for providing this useful information. I am helping my daughter write a
paragrah. She's in the 7th grade. Would you believe I had a terrible time with
writing. 8/22
I teach high school general biology and advanced placement
biology. I am planning to take a few days during the first week of school to
review some of the study guides with my students. Your guides are
excellent!The biggest problem that most of my students have is not knowing how
to study. I plan on incorporating the process (and your worksheets) into
lessons throughout the year. 8/19
From Singapore: It was truly a
pleasure to chance upon your website on studying tips. "Thinking like a
genius" enlightens me greatly, because I realise I haven't been doing so! 8/14
I found your study guide site this morning---WOW. Thank you
for the scope and thoroughnesss of your work! I relate so closely with my
students visual-spatial learning style and workpersonally with many of them. I
also train our tutors to understand their very special needs as learners.
Student-athletes are a misunderstood population when it comes to
learning---most higher-ed educators just do not take enough time to get past
the playing field, in terms of understanding how to reach them in classroom.
That is where my staff and I come in. Thank you for encouraging the work of
Linda Kreger-Silvernman and Gerald Grow. Anyway, thank you for your awesome,
extensive work! I have developed some approaches that take study strategies to
another level, in that they are unique to student-athletes... 8/13
From India: I am presently
working on a student planner which I plan to market in a few weeks. While I
was surfing the net I came across your website which I think is awesome. I
have already mentioned your website in the monthly section of my planner 8/12

via the internet... The information would be of great use for our tutors at
the tutoring center. Thank you for your assistance 8/4

I want to take a quick moment to thank
everyone involved in providing this material. I recently found your site and
have since spent numerous hours reading. Also, I’d like to say that not only
have a read a lot of the material I have actually *applied* it. So many
methods and techniques are beautifully simple to execute and I cannot count
the number of times I’ve said to myself, “If I had only found this sooner.” I
have had great success in a very short amount of time with the following:
SQ3[4]R method * Reading skills [entire section] * Time management * Project
planning * Motivation
I’m very excited about the whole thing. There
is so much on the site to be learned. Thank you very much for the information
you have shared. It makes a world of difference! I’ll be sharing this with
everyone. 1/13

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.

Minnesota, created and maintains Study Guides and Strategies. Users have
permission to "freely copy, adapt, print, transmit, and distribute study guides in

Educators Newsletter: 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

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.

Paul Pioneer Press/Dispatch"Studyguides shows what Web can be" by
James Romanesko, Studyguides is a no-nonsense site that doesn't try to make
homework seem cool with the use of funky graphics or groovy fonts. It's all-text
and serious, but very practical. 8/3/98

I teach Reading Resource in ... Wisconsin ... I typed in
"comprehension" and your website was one that appeared. ... 1/31
I am a fourth semester graduate student in the Communication
Studies... Also, I am a Teaching Assistant four the department's basic course
(Introduction to Human Communication). I just wanted to CONGRATULATE you for a
MAGNIFICENT website. I was doing some research on Public Speaking and Active
Listening and I came across your website. It is one of the most helpful
websites I have ever encountered in the educational field. It covers topics
absolutely interesting, helpful, and applicable to daily life. I felt the urge
to contact you to THANK YOU for such a SUPERB job on the information you
provide. I will definitely give your website information to all my students
and everyone else I know... 4/13
... I am a Doctorial student I find your system to be very
helpful. Thank you for every thing 4/7
This truly is an AWESOME site. I am going to graduate from a
technical college and was wondering how I was going to stay on top of
things. With the help of this valuable site, it will be much easier. Thanks
for all your hard work. 4/4
From the Netherlands: Ithought
it might make you happy if someone said: I like your site and find it very
useful... 4/4
I am the Web Master for .. High School... We have found this
site very beneficial for our students... 4/4
From Italy:I must thank you for
the great site I visited today for the first time. I think I'll become a
frequent user of this most useful site.
I really like your website!! I have a question for you: Your
teachers' guide at
http://www.studygs.net/guidednotesa.htm was recommended to me. From there
I went to your www.studygs.net site, where I found a goldmine for students,
including a student version of the teachers' guide at
http://www.studygs.net/guidednotes.htm . My question is, how do I find
more pages written for teachers? 3/17 Ed: The Guides were written for
learners, but I encourage teachers to copy and adapt for their students.
From Israel: I just
want to thank you for all the work and effort that has gone into producing the
Study Guides Strategies site. I am about to embark on Masters' studies in my
late forties, and the guide has provided me with invaluable information and
insight. As an Internet professional for some ten years, I know just how much
work and effort must have gone into this project, and the page views
demonstrate just how useful it must be day by day to people from many
different walks of life across the globe. I also intend to share the site with
fellow students on the course. 3/13
What a great website. This is truly a public service.
Weapplaud you for providing such a service to the general public, someone like
myself. Who could not afford this service and the information that you have
provided. 3/10
I just wanted to tell you how fabulous your site is. I wish
I had had this available to me when I was in college. I am passing it on to as
many people as possible. I work in a Masters program and many students are
returning after being away from school for a while and this is a very helpful
site for them. Thanks and keep up the good work... PS: I am a visual learner
and artist.3/2
Thank you for the remarkable website you maintain,
especially for the section on study guides and strategies. As a school
psychologist I have referred to it many times and have passed the web address
on to colleagues. Just today I had a concerned teacher worried about a 16 year
old student who is struggling to keep her head above the rough seas of high
school academics. I told her about your site, and she was very grateful.
Please keep up this fabulous work. 3/2
From Nova Scotia: Wow what an amazing
website/learning tool for students...This is a wonderful asset for them to
use. 2/28
Thank-you so much for your web site (studygs.net). My 14yo
son has an IQ of 130 but struggles with two types of learning disabilitiesso
school is very frustrating to him. He came home so frustrated with Algebra and
I couldn't explain it so he could relate to it and I found your site and he
caught on to the PEMDAS concept and is so much more confident. I saw the mind
mapping information also which is very interesting. My son is not able to take
notes in the classroom and can't organize his thoughts on paper. You
are a special person to share your talents with us. Thank you. 2/26
thanks man for the study stuff. you're a good guy 2/22
Wow. Not very eloquent, but all that comes to my stunned
mind and tongue, after dropping by your "Study Guide" site and then
visiting your home page. Haven't gone into any of the categories outlined in
the Guide, but will be interested in seeing what I could/should have done when
it was my turn to go through the college-level education system. Your
observation that travel is an interactive experience is wonderfully expressed
and insightfully observed..... and will be oft quoted (by me) -- with
attribution. 2/22
You have developed a great study guide site, that I am
already addicted to. I have had some study issues, as a return student, and
have found some motivating factors in your guides. Just a quick thanks. 2/22
What an incredible website! I'm counting my blessings that
you have been willing to create and maintain your site as aneducational public
service. I found your site while searching for a 'daily schedule' on google
and I immediately knew thatI had struck gold. I've recently been making a
concerted effort to overcome some deep-rooted habits and consequently felt the
discouragement of picking myself up again and again. Learning to embrace a
consistent daily schedule as well as view goal-setting with a more positive
connotation would probably be humorous to someone watching me from a distance.
The more I explored your site the more excited I became to pick myself up and
try again. I love the quotes in the upper right hand cornerand I can't wait to
forward your site address to many of my friends and loved ones.I wish I would
have known about your site while I was in college! But I'm surethe
information! from your websitewill prove to be a tremendous help when I go
back for my PhD. Sincere thanks and appreciation, 2/21
Love your website, great info.'s 2/20
I will keep using what you have and will work on developing
it into some other things. Keep up the great work. 2/14
I just learned about your Study Guides and Strategies site
today, and I'm writing to express my appreciation. It must have taken hours to
put this together! Thank you for sharing these resources freely. Teachers and
students everywhere will benefit from this resource, so I would like to
present your site with an award...I also plan to mention your site in my
newsletter, ConnectEng, which will be distributed sometime in the next couple
of weeks. Congratulations! 2/5
I am a Secondary School English teacher in .. Canada. Thank
you so much for your great study guides. I will refer students to your site.
2/3
I am an academic adviser to 1,100 English majors at ...
University; yes, that’s 1,100, all by myself. I love my job, but it does get
crazily busy at times. (As you may realize, English departments aren’t usually
loaded financially; otherwise they’d love to hire another adviser.) I just
want to send you my sincere thanks for your study skills site that is freely
available to people like me, and to all my students. I have referred so many
students struggling through academic probation to your site! I have found your
site personally helpful, too, about the learning process. It’s just
wonderfully reassuring to realize that someone out there, You, offer such a
valuable resource out of the goodness of your heart. I believe you will
receive it all back, and then some. 2/3
I have been given your web address by an Intel colleague
based in Saudi. We have recently localized some content from our Irish site
into Arabic. We would like to add some useful educational references.Are you
ok with us referencing your site?1/31
Thank you for the great study guide and strategies website;
I refer my students to this website. It is EXCELLENT! Thank you.1/29
I came to your site looking for insights on younger children
and how to use technology to facilitate the journey of visual and other
non-verbal learning styles for my service - butbeing an avid traveler, an RPCV,
and education enthusiast - I seem to have just let another half day go by.
Congrats - a real tool and monument.1/29
Joe, I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for
your excellent website. I am team teaching a collegestudent success class to
ESL students who want to go into the medical field. Your site has helped me
help my students.1/26
I accidentally came across your website. Good stuff - keep
up the good work. (1) There is a Chinese version available on your website (as
well as other language version). However, it is simplified Chinese
version... If traditional Chinese version is available it would be more
convenient. (2) As for me, I am doing a computer certification exam, which is
my fifth exam. Since the results for the previous four exams are excellent, I
thought the fifth exam was no big deal - which is NOT the case. This exam is
based on case studies, each spans over two pages long. I have to make sense
out of the details and answer questions. I attempted to do past exam paper -
and the result was a disaster! For the first case studies, I got eight out of
nine questions WRONG! The result was so shocking that I had to stop and
reflect what went wrong. After visiting your website, I think I have a lot of
perspective of what goes wrong. Part of the problem lies in my bad study
habits developed since high school. The lack of ability to focus is another
culprit. Procrastination is another. Reading skills is another. The change of
my way of living is another (the last company I worked for was bankrupted and
I became unemployed) ...... and so on. Thank you for the website! Keep up with
the good work! 1/27

I found your web site looking for ways to better tutor my
upper elementary students. Thank you for all your work in putting this site
together. It had many features that I can use to help my students and myself!

The guides in this site is very good & helpful. But, if you
could also put the site in PDF format 1/19 ed: coming one day! 1/20
Recently, I've been developing a website for our Christian
campus club. Since a lot of students will be surfing this site, I was
wondering if I can get your permission to add a link to your study guide
website. It has been helping me a lot and I'd like to see if my friends also
can take advantage of your website. 1/17
I have just sent your web site off to other teacher friends
who will enjoy it I'm sure... I took the time to read through you site in
depth. I love the way that you included so much about yourself. 1/10
I am a middle school teacher in SE Texas and just came
across your study guides and strategies pages. thanks I found a lot that will
help me teach. 1/3
I am an instructor at the college level. I found your
website from my mentor and am very impressed with it that I will add your url
to my website for student success. Thank you! I have recently shifted from
teaching part time at the university to the community college. I am finding
that many young CC students are simply not prepared for the challenges of
college, and I will include my expectations for their success in my
syllabus... 1/3 Just wanted to say that this is a great site
and very helpful for many people, I wouldn't be surprised if an "aha" from
this site brought someone closer to their goal, or to a new goal. Great work!
1/10
Thank you so much for the study page. I am an older student
that has just returned to school in the last year and a half and I find that
making things "stick" used to be a lot easier. I'm also just generally
interested in the way that I learn and really understanding what I'm studying
rather than doing all of my studying for grades as I was before. I've picked
up some really helpful hints on your site and plan to recommend it to a bunch
of my friends! I also appreciate that you included a section about your life
and beliefs... Once again I want to thank you for the excellent site on
learning. There is so much useful information! 1/7
