About this E-Book, and Hyperlinks to Other Websites
This e-book contains 19 chapters, which are essentially separate websites that are linked together. Each chapter has its own table of contents, and the information is presented in a series of sections and subsections, which are focused on one or more topics.
There is a huge amount of literature, and diverse opinions, that relate to study skills, and academic success in college and graduate school. It was not possible to cover all of this material in this e‑book, because that would require tens of thousands of pages. However, each chapter contains many hyperlinks to web-based articles and videos, which present a huge amount of additional information, from many authors with diverse opinions, about learning and studying strategies. The websites can be accessed by clicking on the hyperlinks, which are the blue underlined words, presented at the end of some of the sections, subsections, and paragraphs, throughout this e-book.
If a link fails, use the blue underlined words as a search phrase, with www.Google.com. If the failed link is for a video use www.google.com/videohp. The search will usually bring up the original website, or one or more good alternatives.
