Assignment specifications
Watch all five videos carefully for comprehension. Write a 3-page essay in two sections in which you respond to the following questions. An essay is not a numbered list of questions with brief responses. Use your own words, not lengthy quotes from Dr. Chew. The essay should have two major sections with as many paragraphs as needed
Section 1: Summary of the videos:
- What is metacognition? Define it in your own words.
- How does poor metacognition hurt academic success?
- What are the critical differences between deep and shallow processing?
- Describe the three functions of note taking.
- Describe the appropriate procedures for highlighting.
- Briefly discuss the guidelines for effective group study.
- Identify several positive steps to take after you have blown an exam.
Section 2: Personal Inventory of Study Habits: (This is a personal reflection. Do not use the third person)
- What study skills have you used up to this point? (Before this class)
- Do you rely on rehearsal, organization or elaboration? Give an example. (Check Ch 7 lecture notes for clarification here.)
- How satisfied are you with your current strategies?
- Describe those that are least effective and those that are most effective. In other words, what is your level of “metacognitive awareness” right now?
- How might you improve your skills having watched Dr. Chew’s video series?
- How likely is it that you will implement these changes?
