Great website on various forms of study skills for university and college students.  A nice resource for anyone that wants to stay on top of contemporary study skill methods.

Fundamentals of Social Research:
An excellent book on research and graduate study skills.  I was personally trained by one of the authors in graduate school and she completely revolutionized my study skills and methods including how I break down my writing. 

www.leechblock.com:
A must for any student that is fighting with proccrastination and wants to improve their study skills. Here you can get a great program that will restrict your time on whichever websites you choose.  I set facebook for 10 minutes a day and I set entertainment sites like youtube for a full ban from 9-5 on weekdays.  This makes sure you keep on track.  Remember, if you have systems in place, time management isn’t a problem. You can also find full installation tutorials on our blog.

www.criticalthinking.org:
The theory behind effective college study skills can be summed up through critical thinking. This is the best site for everything critical thinking.  Some of the concepts are somewhat complex and they don’t offer any simple guides like I do but a great resource if you want to follow up on critical thinking.

Writing for Social Scientists:
For students who lack effective college writing skills, this is the best, best BEST book for anyone that wants to improve their writing.  Not just in the social scientists but for all academic writing.  It is required reading for most graduate students and you should really take the time to give it a read as a basis for a effective baseline in study skills for university.

Elements of Style:
This is in essence the study skills handbook. If you have problems with grammar or just want to improve your grammar, read this book.  It is a great read and is a great reference tool while you write.  The book also includes a full formatting reference guide.

Online Formatting Guide:  Another handy study skills handbook is this free online formatting guide that reviews most of the popular formatting formats.  I would suggest you actually buy a book for this such as the one I suggest above, but if that isn’t possible this is a great mobile tool.
