<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Students are eager to learn, but often become overwhelmed by the volume of material presented in the standard college-level class. The methodologies they used to learn
material and achieve good grades in secondary school don't quite produce the same results at the collegiate level, thus they become frustrated and disengaged which leads to lower performance. In this workshop, the importance of teaching students how to study
and methodologies that lead to material retention and student success will be explored.</span></p>
