"beliefs [about studying] that make you stupid"

A fellow teacher just shared the following videos with me. This is from a series put together by Professor Stephen Chew, a cognitive psychologist at Samford University. In this series, Chew shows why many incoming college students do poorly and proposes ways to fix the problem. Some of his ideas are similar to things I mentioned the first two days of class, but he takes a psychological approach.

This second video covers "deep processing," which is a cognitive psychologist's way of talking about active reading.

Think about what Chew says as you prepare for your finals for this quarter.
