2. Effective study habits are vital to your success in a collegiate environment. Study skills only become habits when they are implemented on a day-to-day basis. This Hyper Lesson will introduce to you effective study habits. You will also learn memory techniques you can implement to help you in your studies. You are in control of your own academic success.
