Hello everyone,

Happy First Day of Winter! - "Metacognitive Strategies" (Student Study Guide)

Welcome to "winter" everyone! Heat is breaking here (for at least a few days) here in sunny Florida. I wanted to share a job aid I designed entitled "Metacognitive Strategies for Faculty and Students." Using these simple strategies based on Educational research, students can maximize the effectiveness of their studying. Faculty and teachers - pass this on to your students to give them a study boost...

What tools or strategies do you use for studying? Did these suggestions work? I know I will be using these strategies this Spring when I study for my M.Ed. program comprehensive exam!
