Are you mystified by your grades? Do you sometimes wonder why your study habits aren’t yielding the results you expect? Join our workshop on metacognition to discover powerful strategies that can enhance your learning experience.
Metacognition refers to the awareness and ability of learners to assess their own learning process and develop effective study strategies. It’s about understanding how you learn and making intentional choices to improve your study habits.
During this workshop we will discuss the crucial role metacognition plays in student learning and achievement. You will learn specific techniques to enhance your metacognitive skills and discover how to identify gaps in your learning, set goals, and optimize your study methods. Finally, we will explore ways to use your performance on assessments to improve your learning strategies.
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Join us as as part of Learning Services' Failing Forward Week, to talk through failure, growth, and forging a path forward from the unique perspective of first generation college students. Learn how to reframe defeat and highlight growth, as we blaze a new path forward. Because we maybe the first, but we won't be the last!
Did a recent exam not go the way you hoped? This workshop will help you move past disappointment, understand what went wrong, and turn a tough exam experience into a learning opportunity. You’ll explore practical strategies for managing stress, identifying areas for improvement, adjusting your study approach, and building confidence for your next exam. Come learn how to reset, refocus, and bounce back stronger!
