I remember the hardest part about studying in college was that no one taught me what studying was, and never showed alternatives. Movies just showed people reading the book and looking stressed, so that’s what I did. It wasn’t until later that I learned studying could be quizzing yourself, doing example problems reading over homework to see what you did well or didn’t do well, or listening to lectures again, or anything.
Oh interesting. My college had a required freshman intro course that touched on stuff like this + introduced you to on-campus resources that could provide additional assistance.

I wish we prepped kids more for college.
