Study Skills for the New College Student
Hours: 1.5
This presentation will provide an overview of the EDUC 1300 – Effective Learning: Strategies
for College Success course. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation
serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic strategies.
The course focuses on a broad range of knowledge, skills, mindsets, and behaviors that support
the learning and success of our students in school and in life. Four key elements reflect the
overall framework of the course: Personal Skills, Learning Skills, Life Skills, and Mastery Skills.
Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning and personal inventories) to help them
identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately
expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs
and become effective and efficient learners. Breakfast will be served prior to the presentation.
