Material for how to study for STEM/biology university courses?
I'm looking for any and all references and tips on this topic.
I teach Intro to Neuroscience; typically to freshman/sophomores. Their experience in this class can be important for their next steps. But some students show up better prepared than others and we want to find better ways to rectify that. It's a really hard problem.
As an experiment this year, we are tacking on an optional weekly "bonus session" for any students who feel they could benefit from a bit more instruction/practice wrapping their head around what we are expecting of them (and how to achieve it). Things like: we don't just want students to memorize facts but also generalize knowledge and solve problems - but what does that look like and how do you prepare for it? I'm looking for material to develop that type of 'how to study' curriculum, including material that targets a diversity of learning styles and approaches.
