Active Learning and Study Strategies

In this class we define active learning and metacognition and discuss the tutor's role in modeling effective learning. We practice specific study strategies and share ideas for how to combine "how to learn" with "what to learn" in group tutoring sessions.

Notetaking Handout
Test Taking Handout

If you missed this class, please e-mail the following Makeup Assignment by the Monday following the class you missed.

Read the articles on Active Learning at http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/intranet/committees/FacDevCom/guidebk/teachtip/active.htm
Read the handouts on tests, notetaking, and textbook reading skills.

OR, download two or more short video clips from
http://maclife.mcmaster.ca/academicskills/online_resources.cfm

Write at least one paragraph summarizing what you learned about active learning. Then choose one of the study strategy that you think students in your group would benefit from, and write one or two paragraphs describing how you would incorporate discussion of this strategy into your group session. What questions would you ask to get them thinking about the skill, and how would you make it fun, practical, and relevant?
