Nancy, You make an important point about student study skills. I find that many of my students have not developed or have forgotten their study skills. By showing them a few simple techniques I have be able to help them with their note taking and study skills. The use of colored coded high lighters is something that many of them had not thought of and I was assuming that they learned this in high school so I didn't mention it. When I started showing them things like the color coded high lighter method their eyes got big as if that idea had just been discovered. So now I do a quick review of study skills and don't assume that already know about them. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
