Well this is depressing. New study shows that many learning strategies used by students are not effective and what's worse is that in some cases, they are being recommended by their teachers. Important work by

Really interesting! "Our findings also suggest many students do not have a complete understanding of the strategies that are known to have higher utility (i.e., retrieval and spaced practice)."
