Example:

Old Version:
Smith (2015) alluded to this significance: The research findings on learning styles offer substantial promise to teachers,
counselors, and the students themselves in terms of finding better ways for students to learn. But while matching learning
style with instructional mode apparently facilitates positive interpersonal relations, and while it would seem to point the
way for increased learning, the empirical data that support this idea is rather scarce. Such a significant gap in the
research must be filled if knowledge about learning styles is to become a significant force in improving college and
university teaching. However, identifying and defining the vast number of learning styles can become an enormous task.
According to Cornett, the myriad of labels and categories used in identifying the different areas of style can be
overwhelming for educators. Cornett (2016) stated: Learning style is a complex construct involving the interaction of
numerous elements; thus, at the outset the experimenter is faced with the difficult task of having to decide which
dimensions of learning style to elucidate and which interactions might be meaningful, in a practical sense, in
understanding their contribution to achievement.

Revised Version:
A research study by Smith (2015) indicated that learning styles offer substantial promise to teachers, counselors, and the
students themselves in terms of finding better ways for students to learn. But while matching learning style with
instructional mode apparently facilitates positive interpersonal relations, and while it would seem to point the way for
increased learning, the empirical data that support this idea is rather scarce. Such a significant gap in the research must

RRL 1: D. Newbury-Birch,1 R. J. Lowry2 and F. Kamali3

Objective To investigate alcohol and illicit drug use in a cohort of dental undergraduates through to VT year.
Setting A UK dental school (with a medical school comparison group). Subjects and methods A cohort of dental
students anonymously completed a lifestyle questionnaire about drinking and smoking, illicit drug use, stress,
anxiety and depression in the spring of 1995 and 1998 as second and final year undergraduate students
respectively, and in the summer of 1999 after one year working as qualified dentists. A parallel cohort of
medical students also anonymously completed the questionnaire at the same time points in their undergraduate
course as for the dental students, and at the end of a year working as Pre-Registration House Officers (PRHOs).
Results The proportion of dental students in Newcastle drinking above the recommended low risk limits of
alcohol declined from 47% as second year students to 25% as final year students and then it increased to 41% as
qualified dentists, whilst in medical students it steadily increased over the three time points of the survey (33%
to 43% to 54%). A greater proportion of dental students were drinking at hazardous levels at all three time-
points, compared with medical students. Experimentation with illicit drugs ranged from 47% as second year
students to 54% as final year students and to 51% as dentists. The prevalence of illicit drug use in medical
students was similar to that in dental students. Forty seven per cent of the dental student cohort as second year
students, 67% as final year students and 16% as dentists suffered from possible pathological anxiety, compared
with 47%, 26% and 30% in the medical student cohort. The proportion of dentists suffering from stress
decreased from 72% as final year students to 19% as dentists. In the medical student group, the proportion
increased from 32% as final year students to 39% as PRHOs.

Another study of college students using illegal drugs

Patterns of Drug Use Among College Students: A Preliminary Report
GEORGE L. MIZNER
,
JAMES T. BARTER
, and
PAUL H. WERME

In a large survey of college student drug use in the Denver-Boulder metropolitan area, almost one-third of
students admitted to having used illegal drugs. The most commonly used illegal drug was marijuana, which had
been used by 26 percent of the students. Amphetamines had been used by 14 percent and LSD by five percent.
The authors explore attitudes toward drug use and drug legislation as well as mood states and reasons for drug
use. Patterns of drug use are contrasted with a variety of demographic variables and with different college and
university characteristic

RRL 2: Many researchers have reported significant differences in the prevalence of substance use among various
ethnic groups in the United States. A frequent finding reported in these studies is that substance use is more
prevalent among White, African-Americans and Hispanics, than in Asian Americans in the US (Gillmore et al.,
1990; Collins, 1993; O'Hare, 1995; Ellickson et al, 1996). As a result, many believe that substance use is not an
important health issue for the Asian Americans population, and continue to uphold the stereotypical view that
all Asian American can be classified as a low health risk group. Although this comparatively low rate of
substance use exhibited by Asian Americans, may indeed be accurate for some subgroups of Asian Americans
in the US, it may not be an accurate representation for all Asian ethnic groups (Ja and Aoki, 1993). The Asian-
American population is a rather heterogeneous one, consisting of many different ethnic groups, each with its
unique set of cultural standards, beliefs, values and traditions, hence with varied health risk behaviors. As such,
it may not be appropriate to examine their life-style behaviors collectively, but rather to focus on the health
behaviors of individual subgroups, to examine their patterns of alcohol and drug use, and to determine the
extent to which this may represent an important health concern for that particular Asian ethnic sub-group. All
Asian subgroups are usually lumped together under one single category, "Asians," thus making difficult the
generalization of findings to all groups because there are some subgroup differences.

Another study of college students using illegal drugs

the Queensland Alcohol and Drug Study Questionnaire was completed by students attending courses in
“helping profession” departments such as medicine, nursing, education, and psychology from 22 departments at
universities and colleges in five Scottish cities. The sample consisted of 3117 females and 949 males. Results:
among female students a higher percent (p <. 05) who were Not Religious consumed over 14 drinks per week
(55.5 vs 36.2%), tobacco (43.3 vs 29.3%), marijuana (32.4 vs 15.1%), amphetamines (8.4 vs 4.1%), LSD (7.4
vs 2.9%), and Ecstasy (4.8 vs 2.1%) compared to those who were Very Religious. A higher percent of Roman
Catholic's consumed alcoholic beverages while a higher percent of Protestants, other than Church of Scotland,
consumed tobacco.

Another study of why college students use illegal drugs

Individual differences in approach and seeking-related constructs such as sensation seeking, novelty seeking
and impulsivity are generally found to be most convincingly associated with substance use in young adults. One
set of personality traits that may be particularly relevant to substance use is concerned with Gray’s two-
dimensional factors that represent approach and avoidance sensitivity. The current study investigated whether
Gray’s BIS and BAS personality characteristics are associated with drug and/or alcohol use in a sample of non-
clinical college students (n = 276). Results indicated that college students’ drug and alcohol use was positively
correlated with BAS and, to some extent, negatively to BIS personality characteristics. The most substantial
correlations were found between BAS Fun Seeking and the number of illegal substances one had used, the
quantity of alcohol use, and the frequency of binge drinking. These results suggest that BIS/BAS personality
characteristics make a significant contribution to college students’ substance use.
