Study Skills

More things we hear everyday around here:

-It's fine. The exam is online. I don't need to study.
-I looked over my notes. I don't understand why I did so badly!
-What do you mean I have to fill out the study guide? I thought the teacher did that for us? 
-I thought I had good notes, but none of them were on the test. 

If COVID taught students one thing, it was how to use their resources (aka: cheating!)

A great majority of rising or returning college students have not been taught basic study skills which can create big problems when it comes to finding success in higher education. 

At a minimum, they lack the ability to: 
-Take good notes and know what to do with them leading up to quizzes and exams 
-Read and comprehend full texts, not just an AI-generated summary
-Think critically and draw independent conclusions, rather than regurgitating answers
-Study actively by creating study guides, instead of starring at pre-made Quizlets
-Use library databases for research
