Students must persevere in following a routine and must exert effort to discipline themselves in doing so.

Setbacks are a natural part of the learning process, and students should not be discouraged by the problems they will face. These setbacks are lessons that students learn after they have overcome the difficulties. As a result, the more they struggle, the more they master a particular content or topic. Furthermore, the authors recommend retrieval practice, spacing out retrieval practice, and interleaving different problem types as helpful learning strategies for students.

The first technique is retrieval practice, and it is an efficient strategy. This strategy focuses on self-tes...
