In this talk, we'll look at one professor's perspective on why students struggle in chemistry. We will chat about the differences between high school and college chemistry classes, study skills to develop moving forward, and time management.

If you have had previous difficulties in MCB courses or are worried about a particular one this semester, join us for a discussion/workshop that will help you manage time better and identify the skills necessary for success in the major. You’ll also learn how to take notes, think critically, and approach exams in a scientific context.

This workshop is here to help. We will introduce the idea of metacognitive learning and find out how that can help you study more efficiently. We'll give you tips about how to summarize your notes, break down your syllabus and practice for your next exam.

This presentation will build on the previous presentation and help you evaluate: Did my exam performance reflect my expectations? Do my expectations of my exam performance reflect my knowledge of the material? How would I know? How can I evaluate my exam taking strategy? How can I improve my study plan and exam-taking strategy?

In this workshop, we will explore what it means to fully understand the material in a Math class and how one should study to achieve that goal. In particular, we will discuss strategies for successfully navigating large lecture courses like those in the calculus sequence as well as general strategies for succeeding in any university-level mathematics course.
