How to Study: Lucy MacDonald's Model of the Study Process

1 min read

I rarely point readers to other websites, but I once came across a really neat illustration that gives an overview of the entire study process. It was created by study skills professor Lucy MacDonald for her site, How to Study. I like it when people make a point without using lots of words: short and concise, the way it should be!

The image also made me think: is a picture worth a thousand words, or is one word worth more than a thousand pictures? The few words in her illustration were clearly more important for understanding the concept than the drawing itself.
