Class Experience

This will be 55 minutes full of information and resources that students will find invaluable for every day test preparation, as well as planning and studying for exams.  Class will include learning two different note taking strategies, then how to turn notes into flash cards for studying, how to create a summary of each class for easy to find notes, how to create your own study guide when the teacher has not provided one, and how to create and implement a system that will help you achieve success in classroom and online class environments. 

During class students will be asked to share what strategies they are currently using, and how those strategies do and do not help them see the desired results.  Class is taught using pdf handouts that are provided in the Welcome section of class, slides, lecture and short video clips.  Students will be asked to practice note taking strategies during class, and determine which strategy works best for different classes.  

This class is for students who struggle academically, or who need additional learning time to master note taking and learn how to create a study guide from their notes.  It is NOT a good class for high achieving students seeking ways to refine their skills. 


**********PLEASE READ*************
Outschool has recently changed its policy regarding class cancellations. We know how disappointing canceled classes can be for learners, so we too are amending our policy.  In the past we have waited for late enrollees, of which we have had MANY!  Unfortunately we can no longer do that. 

Instead we will evaluate class enrollment for ongoing classes on teach Sunday at 5pm Eastern.  IF enrollment falls below 3 students, we will push the class back a week and offer students a refund for the missed class.  When other sections are available students will have the option to transfer to another class. 

For one time, camp and multi day classes we will postpone the start of the class if enrollment falls below 3 learners 48 hours before the class is scheduled to begin.  Full refunds will be provided for learners who cannot attend the newly scheduled class time. 
 
Thank you for understanding, and for your loyalty.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their study skills by learning how to take effective notes, use those notes to prepare for tests, create flash cards for vocabulary and hard to remember content, and other strategies the teacher may find helpful depending upon the learners in the class.

This is a class for students who struggle academically, or who lack the skills to create a study guide from their own notes.
It is NOT a class for high achieving students seeking quick study strategies.
