For more than 40 years, Professor Saundra Yancy McGuire has worked to improve college students’ study skills and helped professors adopt evidence-based strategies for improving their students’ learning and motivation. Dr. McGuire, who is a nationally recognized chemistry professor and science of learning strategies expert, authored the widely acclaimed college-level books Teach Students How to Learn and Teach Yourself How to Learn.
Dr. McGuire’s approach is based on research and extensive experience that has convinced her that everyone can succeed academically.
