Information
- Description
- Learning is the process of acquiring and applying knowledge and information. To make college-level studying more effective you must understand and apply information processing, storage and retrieval strategies. Your learning may have focused on input. To be successful learners, we have to also practice pulling that information out (retrieval). Here are a few strategies that you might try to incorporate into your studying to help you become more effective at information retrieval.
