This articles give the student's some great tips on how to study. I think this article will be a very good help for adult learners like me. As we balance other activities among studying, It is very important to pay attention to what is effective learning. I know it will help an E-learning student like me; function with out stress. I can have planned learning goals and achieve them if I apply these tips. These tips are taken from the  book "“How We Learn: The Surprising Truth about When, Where, and Why It Happens,” " Benedict Carey.
  Breaking up and spacing out study time over days or weeks. This tip will help well as I  travel a lot. I used to think I can study only in one place and if I cannot sit down in that place I will not be able to focus. Usually when I study like that I get distracted. More over it takes more time to learn  learn the concept. I am going to apply this tip from now on. Hopefully change of scene will make me focus better.
   
   The second tip the author  gives is to experiment with different learning tactics. I guess I use the method often. So I am pleased to  see that I am on the right track.Changing the routine makes me  very curious about the things that I already know or learnt.
 The third tip: Surviving the Modern Jungle looks like it is written for me. Because  I love to write (in my language of course)so when a thought comes to my mind I  just sit down and start writing. I rarely plan  what I  write.  Then when the editing part comes a week later I  feel certain new ideas come to mind and make my writing get better.
   I guess I need to apply the skills for studying and writing a rough draft will make be brave enough to face the writing assignments.
