Program Abstract: This workshop addresses the following questions: 1) Why don’t students use the success skills they already know, and know will help them be more successful? 2) Are there effective success skills that students more readily adopt as part of their academic practice? 3) What are the defining parameters that distinguish these?
Approaching success skills from a neurobiological basis of fundamental learning, we will present a new methodology in developing effective and efficient success skills that students will actually use. Termed Low-Cost/High-Impact (LC—HI) these success methodologies are low cost (implementation) to both students and faculty while being high impact in terms of student learning and class engagement.
The workshop will present specific examples that can be easily implemented into any class without loss of topical content and offer time for faculty to utilize the LC—HI approach in developing their own methods.
