Students will understand their own learning styles and how they learn best. They will learn to apply strategies to retain information for mastery of any chosen subject. 

I have a unique opportunity to prevent others from suffering through some of the same obstacles I faced as a college freshman. I feel my experience, both personal and professional, needs to be shared to prevent a negative or disheartening first semester in higher education. I spent four years teaching this subject as part of a semester-long, bridgeway course at a community college. I have seen how putting these strategies into practical application has successfully impacted students’ grades, motivations, and self-value. I have often heard a “thank you” from my students at the end of the semester.
