Students and learners of all stripes will likely find the video series Crash Course: Study Skills to be a helpful resource for learning how to study effectively and increase productivity. Part of Hank and John Green's popular Crash Course YouTube channel, this series was released in the fall of 2017 and is hosted by Thomas Frank, founder of CollegeInfoGeek.com. Here, readers will find 10 engaging episodes covering topics like how to take notes and read lengthy assignments efficiently, ways to get organized and stay focused, and ideas for beating procrastination and avoiding test anxiety. As Frank points out, these are "skills that will serve you both in your life as a student and wherever you choose to go afterwards," so even those who have left their student years behind may learn some useful tips from this series. Each fast-paced episode is approximately ten minutes long, so even the busiest learner can squeeze one into their schedule.
