I was halfway through my junior year when I realized I'd been approaching academic writing process all wrong.
As I delved into active recall study techniques, I watched my roommate Jake review his color-coded notes for hours. Every time you force yourself to recall something without looking at notes, you're strengthening the neural pathways to that information.
