Theo Lane
student, builder of no time to study
Theo Lane is the pen name of the student who builds No Time to Study.
It started as a study trainer built for a friend's exam: one course's lecture slides turned into lessons, practice questions and mock exams. It worked well enough that he decided to open it to every student with a pile of slides and not enough time.
Most of what he writes is about the gap between how students actually study (rereading, highlighting, cramming) and what the research says works (testing yourself and spacing it out).
When he cites a study, he links it, so you can check it yourself.
