STUDY SKILLS
-It's fine. The exam is online. I don't need to study.
-I looked over my notes. I don't understand why I did so badly!
-What do you mean I have to fill out the study guide? I thought the teacher did that for us?
-I thought I had good notes, but none of them were on the test.
If COVID taught students one thing, it was how to 'use their resources' (aka cheat!) The great majority of students have not been taught how to take notes or actively study.
ACTIVE STUDYING SKILLS:
How to build a study guide, not just look at a pre-made Quizlet
How to take notes good notes in class
How to take notes/annotate while reading texts, articles, etc.
How to research and read peer reviewed articles and determine good sources of information
How to use strategies for memory and learning
How to use Mind Maps
How to categorize and chunk information
FYI: JUST LOOKING AT NOTES IS NOT STUDYING!
IT'S READING!
