Study Skills: Learn How to Study and Memorize Without Cramming

Students are expected to study for tests and presentations, unfortunately, many are never given practical guidelines for how to maximize their learning. Effective study skills are incredibly beneficial and will serve a person long after their formal education days are over. 

If you have a desire (or need) to learn new things, the tools in this class will benefit you! 

I love to teach study skills because of the value it adds to a person's life throughout their life (I still use these techniques!)

What is the critical window for information retention, what should you do with your study time, which study tools are best for various content matter, how often should you study and for how long? All of these questions (and more) are covered in depth in this course.

Most people believe that proper studying or "studying hard" should involve hours of focused studying over the material they desire to learn/memorize. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) that is actually not the best way to learn material. Moreover, cramming by studying for hours at a time makes it harder for your brain to process and retain information for a long period of time.

This class is perfect for anyone who could benefit from acquiring new skills to help improve their current memorization abilities or anyone who has existing trouble studying or memorizing information.

This course offers a variety of techniques that can be used to boost memory, and more importantly, to help the brain solidify learning into long term memory versus "cramming" and forgetting. 

Students who apply the information gained through this class will see an improvement in grades, and overall ability to recall information. 

There is no required prior experience or knowledge, just an open mind and a willingness to apply new study techniques. 

The class format will be both interactive and lecture based. 

The class will include ongoing combinations of lecture, review, and guided practical application. Class will end with another review of the key course information and each student will share something they learned or found helpful/valuable.
