Aim(s) of Course : Research has revealed that a major difference between the successful and the unsuccessful student is the use of metacognitive strategies. The good student knows what to do when confronting problems with comprehension, memory, concentration, test preparation, or any other type of information processing. Strategies used will differ acccording to learning styles and training, but there will be starategies. Any successful instructor of study skills methods believes that study strategies can be taught, enabling all students to learn to their maximum potential in learning.
