A few tips for being successful in this course
Make a feasible plan to engage the requirements of this course
When will you watch lectures? Read the textbook? Engage the practice questions? Creating a thoughtful plan – and having the discipline to stick to it – is key
Work for mastery of content and skills
The “gist” of something is almost never adequate – aim for better
“Good enough” should be that you can explain ideas, processes, etc. in your own words outloud
Have the wisdom to proactively get feedback on your progress
Online office hours with Prof. Souza or Ivy (our Head TA) are a great resource…
Adopt a growth mindset
My job is to intrigue you, to challenge you, and to help empower you to be more capable Substantive learning and growth takes work, time, and dedication
M (Motivate)
What’s motivating you to do this? Stories? Big picture? Make it rewarding.
A (Attend)
Good environment to focus Thoughtful, goal-directed rests/breaks
R (Relate)
Link new learning with existing knowledge Use visual imagery and/or concept maps
G (Generate)
Explain it aloud! If you can teach it…
E (Evaluate)
How well do I actually know this?
Recall vs. weaker memory (e.g., recognition)
Picture: “The Simpsons” – Fox
