Concentration
Does your mind wander? Do you find yourself with big gaps in your notes because you were thinking about 10 other things you needed to do that day? Or do you sit down to read the assigned chapter but when you get to the end, find you have no idea what it was about? Come find out how to focus your way to A's.
Learning Styles
Do you know which learning style you use most often? Did you know that if you use the study techniques most suited to your learning style that you will improve your ability to remember course material? In this computer-based workshop, you will take the Barsch Learning Styles Inventory to determine your learning style and then develop strategies to use your style for better grades.
