Outline for Possible Adult Ed Study Skills Course

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.
