Most Don't Learn that Much in College

Here is a report about a study which found that on average students learn little in college.  Here is a quote:

The findings also will likely spark a debate over what helps and hurts students learn. To sum up, it's good to lead a monk's existence: Students who study alone and have heavier reading and writing loads do well.

I thought it was interesting that studying alone led to more learning.  I have heard many advisors and others advocate study groups as a study strategy.  I never put this idea into practice because of convenience and because I never felt that I needed study groups.  Based on this study, I was right to study alone all these years of college.
