Does highlighting really help students retain knowledge or are there more effective techniques. This post by Annie Murphy Paul looks at highlighting as well as underlining, rereading, summarizing, distributive practice (as in spreading out your studying), cramming, practice testing (but not for a grade), flashcards, mental imagery, elaborative interrogation, self-explanation, interleaved practice, and mnemonics. Take some time to think about each of these practices and decide which ones you think are effective, and then click through to the post to see how close you are!
