It’s time again for another (hopefully) inspiring educational quote. Today, the quote comes from a clinical psychiatrist who studied, lectured, and wrote about the connections between neurobiology and psychoanalytical concept.
Read MoreSome people do it, others do not. I’ve always wondered if bringing some snacks to the exam is more helpful than it is hurtful. Although I’m not entirely convinced to either side (yet) here’s my simple analysis of the problem (feel free give your own opinion in the comments).

As some of you have noticed, we now feature a new page called “subjects”. I’ve planned to add a number of different educational topics (such as math, physics, chemistry, literature, social sciences etc) and list free educational videos, lectures, softwares and guides! 
It’s been a while and I feel it’s time to begin posting again. What better way to start the day than with a juicy quote. This weeks quote comes from a fellow by the name of Derek Bok, former president of Harvard University.

I recently had an encounter with an old professor of mine. As an expert in Environmental Science she is always quick in to remind me to view the whole picture, never to look at a certain pollution as an endemic phenomenon but instead as intricate part in a bigger cycle.
Thus, she claimed that a student as brilliant as myself (her wording was a little different) would benefit more if I actually attended her classes (what an outrageous statement, don’t ya think?). She -much like most teachers- claimed that the best way to study is by engaging all senses into the process, the more the merrier.
Here’s where I disagree.
Read MoreAs you might have noticed, I haven’t been around that much lately. Starting today, I plan to change that. You see, I’ve been a little busy at campus (it’s not always a smart idea to study more than the curriculum requires, that’s for sure 
) and have thus not been able to update the site regularly. From now on, I plan to go back to the lovely old days where the blog was updated almost on a daily basis.
Yes, you heard me right. It’s time for yet another installment of our Educational Quotes series. Today, I would like us to ponder this famous quote by an contemperary librarian at Yale.
“We’re drowning in information and starving for knowledge”
- Rutherford Rogers
These words were said a few decades ago and they are even truer in this time and age. We now have access to loads and loads of information, the indexed web alone is estimated to contain 40 billion pages! Considering all of this, one has to ask the question; has this overflow of information really made us more knowledgeble?
I personally do not think so, as knowledge does not equal information. Do you agree to the above quote or do you disagree? Please share your comments below 
Hello!
Believe it or not, I’m still alive and present. I guess you, my respected readers are allowed to ask… “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST 4 MONTHS?” Good question.
I’ve been busy working…
Working with this site and changing it, BIG time. Basically, this site will together with a group of talented programmers & web designers face an extreme makeover.
So what new features am I talking about?
New stylish web 2.0 interface
Dozens of new (and free) guides, articles and reports.
Several video & audio lectures and screen casts revealing some top notch study techniques.
Lots of new free tools to help you improve your study results
Free Membership type site where you can track your results and how they’ve changed over time.
Professional tutoring staff; get answers to your questions and get help with your exams, assignments etc
Lots and lots of other things I really don’t want to reveal yet
It’s all going to be FREE, it will (hopefully) be sponsored by a few organizations that I can’t really name yet. Please, leave me suggestions for the new site if you have any. I am really looking forward to this (the deadline is around summertime, can’t be anymore specific).
Stay tune, and thans for all those who’ve sent me a message. Take care!
We’ve all heard it being said over and over again. Studying the night before the exam is bad! Never ever do it! But have ever pondered why it’s so bad as it’s often said. Well, here today, I am going to show you the major reason for it’s suckiness (is that a word, eh who cares…)

I’m a huge optimist, there is no question of that, but despite this one has to acknowledge that sometimes there is no point in continuing…
You have to quit.
The problem is, how can you decide when to quit and when to continue?
