The guide advises students about what they should be learning and how they should be learning, rather than simply being a source of information
Haarden, Laidlaw & Hesketh, 1999

A sampling of student comments by students who eventually voluntarily requested study guides:
Student 1: “Just come to my house, Mrs. K-F and you will see them [study guide]all over my room; of course I use them!”
Student 2: “Mrs. K, can’t you tell? My grades are better. Of course, I use them [study guides], but not every part, just the parts I need.
Student 3: “I use them to review and to write out my notes.”
Student Feedback…
Originally some students did not use the study guides. THEN
…as the weeks progressed, students began to take the study guides…

and their grades improved.
