Marzano, Pickering & Pollock,
Classroom Instruction that Works: Research-based Strategies for Increasing
Student Achievement
ASCD

Admittedly for the K-12 classroom, but you college folks might find some
gems in the lower echelons of education. The strategies are ranked in order
of effect size and validity of metadata.

#1. Identifying similarities and differences
    Percentile gains 31%-46%
#2. Summarizing and note taking
    Percentile gains 23%-47%
    There is a long chapter on types of note-taking
#3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition
    Percentile gains 22%-48%
#4. Homework and practice
    Percentile gains 1%-24%
#5. Nonlinguistic representations
    Percentile gains  19%-40%
#7  Cooperative learning
    Percentile gains 0%-28%
#8  Setting objectives and providing feedback
    Percentile gains 18%-41%
#9  Generating and testing hypotheses
    Percentile gains 2%-28%
#10 Cues, questions and advanced organizers
    Percentile gains 10%-39%

The first two strategies are especially recommended.
