Description

The topic I chose to teach is "Successful Study Skills - How to Stay on Track for Finals Week." I chose this topic because I know how difficult finals week can be as a freshman. If a student is stressed, their performance on tests may be affected. According to an article by Harvard Summer School, skills acquired in high school often do not transfer to college due to the drastic change in academic requirements (Parsons 2023). It can be challenging to determine which study technique will be most effective, but practicing new strategies and research tips will help students find a method that works for them. An article, "Studying 101: Study Smarter, Not Harder," gave numerous tips on how to study effectively. There are many different types of learners, and each one will likely approach studying in a unique way. In my lesson, I informed my students about the various ways of learning and guided them to understand their own. My informative activities helped them reflect on themselves. My presentation taught the students about the right resources and how to manage their time effectively when they have a lot of studying or assignments to complete.
