REVIEW:
Study Skills and Strategies contains a great deal of useful information regarding study skills and ways of increasing school success. Some pages provide 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.
