About the Course

Most students study hard. Far fewer study effectively. This course is designed to change that. Built on decades of research in cognitive psychology, memory science, and learning theory, this course shows you how to study in a way that leads to meaningful learning. Across a series of short, practical lessons, you’ll learn the habits and strategies used by highly effective students in the health professions and beyond. We’ll cover how to plan and prioritize so you don't feel overwhelmed, how to use proven study techniques like retrieval practice and spaced repetition, and how to structure your study sessions for maximum efficiency. You’ll also learn how to cut distractions, stay motivated, manage big exams, and create routines that support long-term success rather than last-minute cramming. This isn’t a course about working harder. It’s a course about learning smarter. Everything is straightforward, research-based, and immediately actionable—no gimmicks, no fluff. You’ll gain skills that you can use in any course, at any stage of your academic or professional journey. Whether you’re trying to raise your grades, build confidence, or simply break old habits that aren’t serving you, this course gives you the tools, structure, and mindset to take control of your learning. If you’re ready to make studying less stressful and more effective, let’s get started.

About the Creator

Hi, I’m Gus Almonroeder—an educator, researcher, and author of Learning That Lasts, a book on practical, evidence-based study strategies. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with countless students who were capable and hardworking, but still overwhelmed because no one had ever taught them how to study effectively. That led me to dive deep into the science of learning and develop simple, research-backed strategies that actually help students learn in meaningful ways! This course brings those strategies together in a clear, easy-to-use format. My goal is to help you stay organized, retain more, and feel confident in your learning—not by studying longer, but by studying smarter. These are the same strategies that have helped thousands of students succeed, and I’m excited to share them with you. If you’re ready to take control of your learning, let’s get started.
