I'm planning to pull some of the wiki content that we use for study skills in other sources onto this page. If I can find the time to do it, this should lead to some significant changes over the next 6 months. If anyone's involved in managing this page and wants to touch base with me, could you please comment on this blog post - http://massageonline.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/study-skills/ ?

Hey this place looks pretty good already. It's definately not "struggling" anymore. Are there any other people who take regular care of this Wikibook? GoodStuff 13:34, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have seen a good 'Dutch' book on this subject. It's going to take a while to summarise it (translating into English won't be that tough though). Carry On --83.116.2.193 13:15, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Looked good until: "If you come to an essay question that you are not prepared for, you can try stating that you weren't prepared for it, and then substitute in its place an equally difficult question for which you WERE prepared and answer that instead. The idea is to demonstrate the strong points in your absorption of the material, rather than allow yourself to be penalized by what you don't know". THIS IS THE ONE THING YOU MUST NEVER DO! Never try to answer a question that is not asked. The result will only be that the examiner ignores all your hard work, as it was a question that was not set! If no one has any objections within a week, I propose to delete this rubbish. Any standardised, decent exam will have a syllabus and the questions will stick to that syllabus --Mark Lewis 18:00, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

honey-tongue
Someone needs to explain the "honey-tongue" technique. I added a link to wikipedia a while back, hoping someone would explain it, but not so far. --160.36.156.243 22:38, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * This book currently says
 * "honey-tongue" Cicero used this technique thousands of years ago to memorize his...


 * At first I, like the anonymous writer above, thought this was introducing the next technique, meaning "Cicero used the "honey-tongue" technique ...".
 * But now I'm starting to think it's a continuation of the previously-mentioned technique, and the original author meant something more like "This technique was also used by the smooth-talking Cicero ...", where "honey-tongue" is merely an adjective describing Cicero, and "this technique" refers to the previously-mentioned method of loci.
 * That interpretation seems consistent with the mention of Cicero at art of memory.
 * There's no such thing as a "honey-tongue" memorization technique, right? --DavidCary (talk) 22:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I think It's Enough
Hello! Sorry that i'm not logged in but although you can click on the link for my Wikibook user page Mastermind 007. The thing I wanted to say was that you can remove the link of Study Skills from "Requested Wikibooks" because it looks fine and it's enough to teach one how to guide himself for studies especially. I'll add your Wikibook as an external link in "How To Become A Good Student" & you can make it a little formal (language). Have a good day!

Clean up
Can this be divided up into subpages for easier reading? Pufferfish101 03:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
