Writing a (good) problem is often a much more demanding task than solving the same problem, which is why I think this is a very valuable skill.]]> 2017-10-03 13:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413057 Seek Help from professor https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413097 The goal of the study skill is to be comfortable asking meaningful questions of professors and instructional staff.]]> 2017-10-03 13:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413097 work in groups https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413700 By having a PAL culture where we work in groups every week, students are introduced and are modeling this important study strategy.]]> 2017-10-03 13:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413700 Seek Help from Professor https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413718 If a student asks a question about class administration, or about quizzes, etc., I will say that they should ask the course professor or TA. During the PAL session activity, I will try and mold students to ask me a precise question about the activity, rather than a simple "How do I do this?"]]> 2017-10-03 13:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413718 Ask students to refer to their notes and show the importance of that https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413888 2017-10-03 13:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193413888 Show your notes since you do attend lecture once a week. https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414172 2017-10-03 13:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414172 Have students demonstrate to me that they know how to find the exams. https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414502 2017-10-03 13:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414502 Predicting Test Questions mcmee009 https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414507 This can be introduced well as a wrap up or a warm up/wrap up pair. Initially, I would choose a specific topic for students to write a question in (e.g. factoring) and show two very different examples of this type of problem. Then students would be prompted to create their own test question. Students could also trade questions to quiz each other and give feedback on their peers' questions.]]> 2017-10-03 13:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414507 weekly discussion https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414701 to practice studying with friends in the PAL session, as a facilitator I should try to encourage the discussion instead of just answering their questions]]> 2017-10-03 13:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193414701 Have students bring in a copy of the exam. https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193415030 2017-10-03 13:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193415030 Seek Help from Professor https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193415260 I will announce the professor's office hours in PAL, and encourge students to make office hours part of a study habit. ]]> 2017-10-03 13:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193415260 study groups https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193416152 You can't really force people to join study groups but it could help if you allow the students to maybe get to know eachother so that they feel comfortable meeting up outside of class time.]]> 2017-10-03 13:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193416152 Seek Help from Professor https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193416432 I will praise students who attend office hours, and continually state the value of them as exams and quizzes approach]]> 2017-10-03 13:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193416432 Predicting Test Questions mcmee009 https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193416619 I accidentally included this is introducing and modeling the skill...look at that response!

Then I could take students wrap up questions and use them on the next warm up.]]> 2017-10-03 13:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmee009/eokfcng0mc1j/wish/193417111
