This is a good site with lots of good tips on how to be an effective learner. It gives valuable information while explaining how these tips help you become a successful learner. As for the credibility of the site, it might not be the most reliable source, however it is definitely not the worst. There are no tildes (~) and there aren't advertisements all over the page.

Danielle, I really like this site because it explains the techniques well and it seems credible. I like how the author of this "guest post" says that memorizing is not learning. Many students memorize because they think they will remember better, but as this author explains, it helps more to make connections and use all your senses than to memorize. I really liked the authors tricks.

This site is so cool! When I read it I found that it really makes sense. It's like what they always say to us in school: don't just memorize, understand. A lot of the tips that they gave about compressing information and making connections were really helpful and I feel like I can use a lot of them in the future.
