This is an awesome site.....What a service to have all
this in 30 languages...I had 18 different languages in
my last school...the only thing I have a problem with, I
didn't find you sooner...by the way, I spent 29 years in
business before going back to teaching. These guides
will help my students... I know you get many e-mails so
it's not necessary to for you to reply...I just wanted
you to know that I am using your guides.
Thanks for creating and maintaining such a useful
website. I would like to use some of the material with
my Life SKills class this year. I am also on the Code of
Conduct committee in our district and we are exploring
restorative practices so I was curious about these
links. I found pages for both organizations, but I think
they may have taken down the specific ones you
reference.
Thank you for a fabulous website. I am thrilled to be
able to use the information in a learning strategies
class that I am teaching.
My Child's 1st Teacher is a parental empowerment show
featured on public access cable in Arlington, Virginia.
Each month we focus on different topics. Study skills is
the theme for this month. We are requesting permission
to tell our viewers about your web site
(www.studygs.net) on our show. Stumbled on these study
guides today. They are one of the absolute best things
(of any kind) I've found on the web. Great work!!! One
of their strengths is the length -- short, concise, and
to the point. I wouldn't change that at all. For the
guides I had an interest in though, it would be nice to
have references for additional reading. Best would be
PDF files of longer, related articles that expand on key
points. In any event, these are wonderful, and I hope
they keep expanding.
אני מבקשת לדעת האם אפשר לפרסם את האתר הזה בפורום של
אסטרטגיות למידה בתפוז ובפורום של לקויות למידה.תודה
שלום רב,קראתי את דפי ההנחיות בנושא כתיבת חיבור

בעבר, נראית לי ההדגמה (באמצעות יצירות ספרות)
חיונית.
צ"ב דוגמא קצרה.
Thanks again, and great work!
The information in your websites are useful to the
maximum. I'm a lecturer in psychology who used to
conduct regular classes on academic skill enhancement.
Thank you for providing such wonderful knowledge. I
appreciate the effort of you and your team. please
include more exercises.
Hello, I enjoy your site and have bookmarked it. I
have returned to school after 5 years of working after
high school, and I'm finding it so difficult. I hope to
keep your information close at hand this year as I start
to pursue a degree in sociology. I am writing to thank
you, and to tell you that there is a typo on the self
discipline page. It is spelled discipline in the header.
Thank you for your effort in compiling this information.
I found your website through Google and would like to
request for permission to feature the Math student
skills found in your website in our children's magazine
that is currently read by Children aged 10- 13 in
Singapore. I would like to know what credits I have to
include in the article? I am trying to study and have a
family and make my study time worth while and have time
for my family I have 13 hours and a test just about
every week.
I’m absolutely thanked to you for giving study guides
& strategies for free. I’ve been learn so far & its
benefit for both my life and working life. But I’m
wondering if there’s a class which I could participate
in and have its certificate for acknowledgement.
My son was looking at your impressive website and I
found this open when I went to the computer and that it
very interesting to me as well as to him ... and I also
ended up sending this to the Quaker Bolivia Link. I hope
you will feel you made a difference here too.

my lifestyle and a way of thinking so broad n better
,wow I really appreciate your deeds for creating such a
great deal of wisdom and creativity
I am a Graduate Student... I will be conducting
research on the effectiveness of teaching study skills
within a lower division course. I was hoping to receive
your permission to teach some of the strategies from
your website.
I would like to put a link to your Study Guides and
Strategies webpage from our faculty's Academic Support
webpage. This will be for the use of students and staff
in our University. I have two questions in this regard.
(1) Could I do this or do I need special permission for
this? (2) If this is acceptable, are there other
limitations on usage except as stipulated on your
website?
This is, without a doubt, the most useful web site I
have used in 27 years of secondary education and 5 years
of higher education!
Thanks for all you do.
I am a family nurse practitioner and professor of
Nursing in in rural upstate New York. I want to thank
you for the study skills site and the intention of
promoting open use of it. I have been developing a
webpage of online resources for our diverse student
population—your site has been the best I’ve found!
just a quick note to say that I saw your site
mentioned on dumb little man today (first time I visited
that site, too) and wanted to add my thanks and
congratulations for creating such a good resource. I'm
not sure how I'll use it, but I am sure I'll pass it on
to others. nice job.
Redaccion de un ensayo A quien pueda interesar,
Necesito visualizar la redaccion de un ensayo, su
formato, el orden de los parrafos si es possible. Como
desarrollar el tema. Tengo una asignacion de la
Universidad sobre el tema de Manglares y Mogotes en
nuestro pais, nos piden identificar dos problemas y sus
soluciones. Francamente no se por donde comenzar. He
conseguido informacion y definiciones al respecto pero
necesito quizas ver un ensayo ya hecho para poder
visualizarlo y poder comenzar el mio. Si en algo me
pueden ayudar se lo agradeceré inmensamente. Ya tengo
copia de “Como escribir ensayos explicativos” obtenido
de su seccion Estudio: Guias y Estrategias. Espero por
su feedback. Gracias.
After perusing your website many times, I feel like I
virtually know you already! My name is Melissa Burgess
and I am a graduate student with the University of
Missouri and I also teach Developmental Studies in
Reading at a local community college in Texas. I was
first introduced to your study guides/strategies website
in my Human Learning course with the U of Missouri, and
continue to frequent it. The reason I am emailing is
because for another one of my courses, we are developing
our own classroom websites and I would like to
incorporate many of the features you have on yours. Your
website is not fussy and it contains great
information/activities for both students and teachers.
One of the features I like most is that you have
translated the website into several languages. How did
you go about doing this? Is there a certain program you
used? If you are able to share this information, I would
greatly appreciate it, but completely understand if you
are not able to do so. Thank you once again for
supplying this wonderful resource--I have passed it on
to many of my colleagues.
Please let me know the process for quoting the learn
to learn text. Your site is so interesting, inspiring
and supporting of efforts to share knowledge. I am a
college dean an online professor. I hope to use the
learn to learn text to publish on my site giving credit
to the author.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FANTASTIC
SITE++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= WE HOMESCHOOL OUR
17 YEAR OLD SON. YOU ARE A GODSEND, THANK YOU.
I wanted to thank you for your site; I am a Learning
Specialist in a private school and have found your
website to be quite useful. I am curious to know what
drove you to organize such a comprehensive source. I
really love the help with citations, but I encountered a
few problems with the MLA: -It is putting a comma
(instead of a period) after the author name. -It is
asking me for “website” twice. I put in 2 different
titles (just as a trial) and it ignores the first entry.
I am very much impressed with your website and the
excellent advice and guidance pages it has. I request
your permission to re-produce some of the articles from
your website so that it can benefit our visitors on our
website. I am very confident that our tutors and parents
will appreciate them a lot. We will of course make
reference to your site.
I attend.. High School in Florida and I am
requesting the permission to use information found on
your website. I am conducting a school project in which
I am creating a helpful French study guide for the
students in my high school junior French class. The
information I am asking to use is about paying
attention, test preparation, reading skills, and
studying. I am asking to use your information because I
believe it gives the best knowledge on these subjects
that is available and also because my French teacher put
the link to your website online so we could use it.
Also, the guide I am creating will not be used to gain a
profit, it is strictly for a grade and to help my
classmates so about 25 guides will be produced. I would
appreciate immensely if you would approve of my request.
I have spent over two hours on your website and have
barely begun. Thank you so much for your clarification,
guidelines, information and encouraging the love of
learning.
Just wanted to say what a wonderful resource you have
created and made available to learners with your
studygs.net site. I plan to share this with my library
instruction students. Thank you for putting this
together.
I've been using your site to help build out my own
site on the CLEP exams. If you’re not familiar with
these exams they help students test out of first year
classes. I was wondering if I would be able to get a
link from your site to help me build some traffic. I'm
still new but I plan on developing the site to help
people study for the CLEP exams, and also avoid some of
the scam study guides that are out there. In the review
section my visitors have already identified one that is
a complete waste of money.
I am the Head of Year 12 ..in Western Australia and
am really grateful for the fantastic information that I
can share with the year 12 students at my school. Thanks
for your wonderful generosity in making them freely
available! May great things come your way - or continue,
to I hope!!
I work for Options For Youth Charter School in
California. We work with at-risk-students trying to earn
a high school diploma. We are also a non-profit charter
school. In addition, I am writing the ADV. US History
Course for Options For Youth Charter School. I wanted to
ask you if I will need to obtain a license to link to
the Basic Research site under the study guides section?
I really think your study guide section is one of the
best I have ever seen.
I am a teacher at a middle school. I love your site
that deals with study skills. I have created a website
on portaportal.com. May I please use your study skills
links on my website?
I am a reporter for … student newspaper. I'm doing a
story looking at casual cheating, meaning the use of
things like book summaries and text translators instead
of going through text books and using more traditional
(and encouraged) learning methods. Seeing your Web site
dedicated to study guides, I was hoping I could talk to
you about my topic. I'm hoping to give you a call
sometime tomorrow and if you could tell me the best time
I would appreciate it.
Estoy estudiando nuevamente a mis 45 años, agradezco
de su gestión para que me colaboren si esta a su alcance
me faciliten herramientas o ayudas para estudiar de una
forma mas efectiva. Debido a que siento que ocupo mucho
tiempo en las lecturas, sin embargo quedo como si no
comprendiera realmente la lectura. Soy profesional de la
contaduría pública, y actualmente he iniciado el primer
semestre de DERECHO. Este exige de mucha lectura pero me
canso con rapidez, como les decía me esfuerzo por
cumplir con lo académico y con mi trabajo.
The City of Stirling, a local government in Western
Australia is in the process of launching a youth website
which offers tips and information on such things as
careers, money and studying. I have searched the
internet for some study tips and believe yours are easy
to follow and would appeal to our audience. I was after
permission to use your Effective Habits for Effective
Study tips (as below) on our study tips page - with it
sourced to your website of course and a link to your
website. Can you please let me know if this is
permitted? The website address (will be launched in the
next few days) is www.stirling.wa.gov.au/youth
I am a HS reading specialist, and I absolute love to
refer students to your site! Thank you for putting this
out there on the WWW! I hope you always have this!
I am an ESL/EFL student. I really want to say very
special thank you for your efforts regarding listening (
www.studygs.net/listening). It is very useful and
practical.
I am a mom of a home schooling middle school boy and
am delighted to find such a helpful and encouraging
website for study skills. He thinks that since I was a
teacher long, long ago (before the earth cooled), I
don't understand all the complexities of current trends.
This has only confirmed that I am not really stuck in
the dark ages! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Mi nombre es ...y soy estudiante en la Escuela de
Educación de la Universidad Mayor. Estoy tomando un
curso llamado Intel® Educar para el Futuro que trata
sobre cómo integrar la tecnología en mi clase. Quisiera
usar la información del mapa conceptual que se encuentra
en http://www.studygs.net/espanol/mapping.htm (URL), y
que incluiré en mi modelo de sitio web para estudiantes,
presentación multimedia y/o publicación.
Usaré estos ejemplos de proyectos para mostrar a mis
alumnos lo que espero que ellos creen. Estas muestras
probablemente se usen también fuera de mi clase para
mostrar a mis colegas este trabajo. Mi plan de unidad y
modelos de proyectos podrían ser seleccionados por Intel
para su inclusión en el sitio web educativo de Intel y
posiblemente en futuras capacitaciones y CDs, lo cual
permitirá a otros docentes bajar y usar estos archivos.
Aunque este programa está auspiciado por Intel, cabe
aclarar que es completamente gratuito y que los docentes
no pagamos para usar ninguno de estos recursos.

I am teachin a High School Readiness class and this
was very useful. Thanks:)
Please read. It would be great if you had each of
your lessons in PDF format so it would be easily
printable and can be read on the go without eyestrain.
It would also be great if you could have all your
lessons in one PDF file so you could print out the whole
thing in one shot. Please don't ignore this message. I
would really appreciate it if you take my advice. Thank
you in advance. Please reply. Thank you
Firstly, I want to introduce myself: I am a
Vietnamese student and living in Vietnam. I've visited
your website which gives guides to students in studying.
They are really useful guides with me and all students,
especially Vietnamese students, because of your guides
we have chance to approach modern methods in studying.
Once again I want to say that your website and your
guides are great, further I would like to thank you so
much for them.
I just found your web site. It is extremely
interesting. In addition to locating this story using
Google, I have also contacted American MENSA with regard
to your page entitled, Thinking Like A Genius. I am
hoping some of the geniuses will think of some more
ideas for the page. I have also shared your web site
with the study skills department at the University of
Washington. In the past month, I have taken four classes
in this department; one topic per week was covered. Like
you, the presenters ask for suggestions as to how they
can improve their classes. They may use some of your
material in their classes which are offered several
times each quarter.
I'm very impressed with your website! I'm doing an
assignment for grad school and found your study
strategies very helpful. I'm also currently teaching, so
I'm definitely going to use your techniques in my
classroom. Thank you for putting something like this out
there. I'm going to forward your url to my instructor.
She would be very impressed as well. The chapter in the
book that I'm studying doesn't compare to what you've
presented.
Thank you for your lovely (and comprehensive) guide
"Mind mapping brought me to your site. I'm eager to pass
your site information along to my students in September.
I think your site is great! I wonder if you had a few
more different ways for taking notes from lectures. ?
Firstly, let me thank for your kindness in giving the
opportunity to us, the learners, to widen our insight
about education.
I am a teacher at a senior higher Yogyakarta,
Indonesia. I have been teaching there for two years. My
responsibility is teaching English for class 1 and 3. I
would like to ask your help about materials for teaching
reading and structure and the teaching strategies so
that I could have more vivid and funny class when I am
teaching those skills since those subjects sometimes
create boredom for my students who are not really
bright. For your information, my Scholl is not a
favorite one and thus has students with low intelligence
and motivation, the last is the factor which troubles
teachers in Indonesia. Perhaps you could enrich me with
more communicative materials for teaching
Very well thought-out and inspiring pieces. I'm
encouraged that you spend quite some time, just so we
can learn. I'd say good work, even if you don't need it.
..love the quotes you have chosen. You obviously take
great pleasure in what you do! I am currently a Ph.D.
student at the University of the Incarnate Word in San
Antonio, Texas. I have many classmates from Taiwan and
recommended your site to help them with their studies.
If you see a flux in the counter next week - it's my
fault. thank you for providing this free resource.
"je prépare une licence d'anglais et j'ai 42 ans. je
trouve interessant les éléments mis sur votre site;
"Thank you so much for developing the site. I hade
searched and searched for a site that would help me be a
better learner. I'm a college freshman, and having
completed 1st semester pretty well, but not was well as
I had hoped to do, I want to go back to school for the
2nd term and be able to really get all my study habits
and routines down. I think that your website will help.
I looked through the reading and study strategies.
very good website but I need one for me and my
husband. we are both disabled , me major
depression-------hubby is Alzheimer's------------4th
stage. but we both need something like /Schedule and
planning in 24 hour period. thanks for any information
you could give me I am writing to tell you how much I
appreciate your website.
Your Study Guides and Strategies site is,
unequivocally, the most comprehensive mentoring/self
help information I have ever seen in my twenty years as
a professor of nursing. I have shared your website with
the counselors at the college where I am currently
acting in an administrative role in Joshua Tree,
California. Thank you for sharing this compendium. It is
obvious that you have developed the materials over many
years. I will share with colleagues around the country.
Many students will benefit.
I am in my first year of College. I went back after a
few years and I was searching the web for something on
focus and concentrate for preparing and cooking meals. I
came up with this information hopeful it will help me in
both areas. If I could just not worry about my son who
has almost nothing to do with me anyway. Well, chow for
now have a good day.
I am the Retention Coordinator for Fulton-Montgomery
Community College in New York State. Our school recently
developed a new web page. While researching information
for the student retention section we came across your
fabulous web site. We were wondering if we could link
your study skills page to our site. Your site is so
comprehensive that we feel it would a great asset to our
students. So please let us know your thoughts. We can
see you are very well traveled and if you find yourself
in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains come visit.
I am a college student at Coulsdon College and I have
been given an assignment on Active Listening. I was
browsing through your website and I found it helpful and
informative. I need some help to complete my final
assignment …
Your site is incredible. It is helping me pull
together pieces of the puzzle of my life when it is MOST
needed.
Just came across this site. As a K-8 Special
Education Teacher, I am always looking for structured
supports for students. Looks like this could be a lot of
help.
Congratulations on the excellent work you are doing
with the website. It is resources like this that help
improve things and people.
I came across your time management tool/day planner
while doing a Google search for activity lists/time
study. Great experiential, visual set up! My background
is in therapeutic recreation (re-creating oneself) and I
think that the day planner does a great job in spelling
out those pieces of life...my perspective is 1/3 for
something productive, 1/3 for sleep/rest and 1/3 is your
re-creation time. Of course in that re-creation time,
you have chores, tasks, meals, etc. Therein lies the
challenge. I am going to pass along your web address to
the therapists that I work with at our non-profit
inpatient psychiatric unit ... I think the people
we serve will enjoy your tool. Thanks for putting it all
together!
I found that the presentation on Time Management is
very helpful and also The Learner's Weekly Planner. It
showed me where my time goes and how I can manage it
better.
I want to thank you for the effort to develop this
helpful website. It is really interesting.
I'm very impressed by your website « Study guides and
strategies ». Needles to say that it is very complete
and thorough! I'm working on a similar project for
University of Ottawa's Faculty of Social Sciences. We
wish to ensure that all students have the proper
intellectual tools needed to succeed.
In the military we have ""hurry up an wait""
meetings. I always bring reading or studying material
and it would be great to print off a page or two of this
material. I could not find a ""printer friendly""
button. This would be helpful.
Requesting permission to link to your Learner's Day
Planner the link would appear in materials designed for
UAW-represented DaimlerChrysler workers and their
qualified dependents
I just wanted to let you know that I am creating a
site for my students and link several sites that I feel
might be useful. Yours is definitely a great addition!
Thanks for all the work you have done! You have made my
job MUCH easier!
I want to thank you for such a wonderful site! At the
age of 50, I am being retained, loving every second of
it but, need to improve my concentration skill. Already
some of the skills are showing results. Thanks Again
I'm a student at the School for interpreters and
translators at the University of Bologna (Italy). I'm
writing my dissertation on stress and stress management
during the interpreting classes. I found your website
and would ask you, if you may tell me some book titles
about this issues (in Italian, German or English), or
about stress during classes in general, that could be
helpful.
Your website is fantastic. I am currently a college
counselor intern and am teaching an FYE (first year
experience) course to university freshmen. Your sight
was recommended to my by my practicum instructor. My
students have found the material extremely helpful.
Your study guides "I have written in the past to
thank you for your generosity in providing this service,
but I want to write to again tell you that I haven't
changed my mind. I have retired from the classroom, and
I both tutor and sub. Your website helps enormously.
REALLY like your study guides. ..They are excellent
and much needed. I will probably suggest those to some
of my colleagues for students who need help. Study
skills are a hugely important and often overlooked
learning skill. Kudos to you for developing something
that nice!!!!!!
I just happened to Google into your world of
scholarly life-saving: I discovered Study Guides. I'm
enlisted at the English and Spanish depts.. at the
University of Cologne, Germany. I once abandoned my
studies many years ago but re-enlisted two years ago.
Now at 49, I find myself stuck again, with two
assignments in Spanish linguistics and the general
stage-fright before the final gauntlet of the exams,
which happen all at once here. However, now that I have
those tools at hand which you've been so kind as to make
available in the net, I feel much more confident to win
at last. Thanks a mil for all the valuable information!
I came across your site by pure serendipity today,
and wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the
time and trouble you have taken. Please may I point my
(mainly foreign) MBA and MSc students to your site when
the new Academic Year starts in September?
