Course Description

An introduction to three learning strategies proven to enhance long-term retention of new material. Rather than relying on techniques that promote short-term memorization of facts for exams and result in little to no retention afterwards, students will complete three modules, each of which focuses on a proven study strategy. Students will have opportunities to practice each strategy within the course and will receive advice about how best to use them going forward.
