How to Become a Precocious Student Students can struggle with basic study skills, superficially passing over material in an effort to finish assigned tasks and check them off, but not really understanding or retaining what they are learning. In this eight-week course, we'll look at critical study skills every student needs, including how to make friends with your textbook, decipher graphical information, memorize important facts, and manage time for both short term and long term projects. We'll also talk about the importance of concentration and contemplation in mastering complex material. Students will complete short weekly exercises to demonstrate and practical close reading, outlining, interpreting data, memorizing facts, and organizing long projects. Special Offer: Because our teachers benefit when students have good study skills, all students completing this summer course will receive $50 credit toward one academic year 2024-2025 course they enroll in at Scholars Online. Credits may not be transferred. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gNAs5EYm

Topic: What would college be like in survival mode? I am running a series of “Quick Questions” to assist undergraduate students. My answers are born of my experiences and are not the “end all, be all” but a good jumping off point. I would like to invite higher education professionals and students to chime in with more advice, or personal stories. The videos are not all-inclusive, because we all know there is no such thing as a “quick question” in advising, and I wanted the videos to be under 3 minutes in length. I am also running a 5-Challenge titled: ACADEMIC ALIGNMENT: Get your ducks in a row! The challenge will begin on August 11 - 15 and is the perfect opportunity to get your college juices flowing again, just in time for fall start! The challenge will run at 8am (MDT) daily and we will follow-up with an open discussion each evening at 8pm (MDT). Sign up here! Even if you can’t make it live, sign up to receive the replays and the worksheets!  ACADEMIC ALIGNMENT: Get your ducks in a row! https://lnkd.in/eTXQ6Buj
