Students moving from high school to college often need to make changes to their study habits and strategies. This module is designed to make them aware of some research-based strategies that can improve their chances of earning better grades in college courses (McGuire & McGuire, 2015).
This module is available to all faculty at Penn State to add to a course in Canvas as an option for introducing students to learning strategies they can add to their repertoire. The module can be added for credit, or as an option for students to choose to complete.
