Learning, Memory and College Success

To-Do Date: Jan 25 at 12:00pm

One of my goals for this semester is that you learn how to learn and therefore set yourself up for success not only in your college career but in whatever endeavors you take on in your life.  There is a lot of research on human memory, learning and cognition and we can use that to become efficient and powerful students.. of ANY subject.

 I will break this topic down into three parts

• Science of learning: how to work with your brain instead of against it!
• Practical strategies for online learning
• Resources for assistance and support. 

You will need to move through these pages one at a time and in order. You will be asked to answer questions and come up with plans based on this information
