Every semester, we get a booklet from our local adult ed program offering courses ranging from knitting to personal fiance to GED credits. There is always a statement asking anyone who has something to share in a course to contact them, but I've never been able to think of what I could teach. Until now. For this setting, I think I could give a strong study skills course.
My ideas thus far:
- Textbook reading including text features and note taking
- Lecture note taking
- Literature note taking (if requested)
- Writing process (briefly)
- Time management including breaking down large assignments
- Reading a sylabus
- Test taking tips (all types of questions)
- Active studying
- Creating a study environment
- Ideas for organizing course materials
- Research skills?
- Plagiarism and citing (briefly)
Each topic shouldn't need a whole night, but it would be a multiple session course.
