LASSI in Action — 2009
This is the 13th year we have published the LASSI in Action, responding to requests for a means to share and exchange information about the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) and its uses in a variety of educational settings. In this new format of LASSI in Action, we continue our practice of bringing you a variety of reports on the use of LASSI.
