Your First Week: Getting Organized and Finding Resources

Plan-Monitor-Evaluate Connection

This part of the book provides you with resources for the planning stage in the learning cycle. Looking at your course syllabus/outlines before the start of the semester is a key part of the planning process. Your course presentation will help you answer questions like:

  • What are the learning objectives for this class?
  • What will I need to learn before each test or exam?

When you have found the answers to these questions, you are able to create a solid plan for the semester ahead.
