Students are ineffective! This is especially true for university students who apply the same study habits they learned during their secondary years, most of which are unsuitable at the tertiary level. In the first of a three-part series on succeeding at university, I detail in the following episode the 'triangular method of studying'. By dividing your study activities into three categories - information gathering, information conceptualisation, and information articulation - you can make more effective use of your time, learning more and learning better in the process.
