Study Skills

Hello again.

So, if you're like me, you've discovered that many students need help with some basic study skills. Sometimes, when students say they're having trouble grasping a difficult concept or writing a tough paper, what they really mean is that they haven't taken good notes on that concept or set aside enough time to write that paper.

I find myself tutoring discrete study skills quite often: how to keep a time-management schedule and stick with it; how to take, consult/review, and use good notes; how to highlight and annotate a textbook; how to devise possible test questions. So often students struggle not because they don't "get it" but because they simply haven't set themselves up to succeed.

With that in mind, I invite you to check out this series of instructional videos that were recently posted to YouTube. Each video in the series is only a few minutes long, and each tackles a different topic that students often need to hear. Maybe you can share these ideas with your students...
