Yes, but remember the onus is on the student to figure out how they learn best. Tertiary education is no longer about spoon-feeding (adult) students everything.

Since the parent mentioned a book, here is the reference, and also two related Wikipedia pages regarding how to learn effectively:

The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn, Gordon and Breach, 1997. https://www.amazon.com/-/en/Art-Doing-Science-Engineering-Le...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitner_system

I enjoyed The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn by Richard Hamming a lot.

I also highly recommend reading the Stripe Press book also with the same name: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1732265178
