In school and in life, the key to success is having the right tools at your disposal. This first module is designed to help students develop the basic skills they will need to effectively prepare for tests and assignments. It will explore both long-term and short-term strategies for breaking work into manageable chunks and setting aside an appropriate amount of time for studying. Students will also learn how to develop effective reading and test-taking skills. Then, we’ll explore five different note-taking methods, allowing students to discover their preferred style. Finally, we will review various writing strategies, including how to write a paragraph, how to use commas properly, and how to write an essay.
