This course is broken down into easy to follow steps that create long lasting improvement in your child's study skills, organization, time management and thought processes. They will first be introduced to the art of advanced note taking and practice what they learn throughout the rest of the course. They will need a notebook to keep their notes regarding the course that will prove very handy whenever they are in need of a refresher for a big test, presentation or college debate. 

Students will be presented with short lectures to learn organizational and time management content while practicing annotation. Then they will be presented with individual as well as group projects to hone their new skills into memory. Discussion between group members and project presentation is also a big part of what makes this course a must as we know how important good presentations skills are in school, business and life.
