Science of memory:
Section 1:
Read the section of chapter 6 titled “Tips from the Science of Memory—for Studying and for Life”. Summarize the key information from this section in your own words, in approximately one page
Section 2:
Find an authoritative web site on the internet that covers study skills and memorization of class material.
In the Resources area under the main menu of the course you will find a document (CRAAP Test) which will guide you in evaluating websites on criteria of Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy and Purpose. Review this document as you choose your website. (I will upload this material)
Explain why this site is authoritative (you may cite some of the criteria from the CRAAP Test), and summarize some of the suggestions of this site in your own words. Compare its suggestions to those from your book – to what extent do they overlap or differ? This section also should be approximately one page.
Section 3:
Using the material summarized in sections 1 and 2, outline a study plan that you could use to prepare for your upcoming midterm exam. Explain specifically what you could do in order to best prepare for the exam, using techniques outlined in both the textbook and your outside website. This section should be between a half page and a full page.
