I’ll start with strategy. Be it an assignment, studying for an exam, a research paper, or an entire course. What I’ve found has worked well for me is the following formula: Survey with a bird’s eye view. Question; come up with my own genuine curiosities & make a list of vocabulary and/or concepts that are unknown or confusing to me. Read and reread. Retrieve (test, test, test). Review; by way of well managed, time-efficient relaxed reading, writing or going through flash cards.

I’ve always wanted to take a social psychology class and so I’m really happy to be in this one. My expectations for this course are to absorb as much about the basic social psychology concepts as I can in this quick 12-week summer semester. Also, I expect to become just a little bit more tech-savvy thanks to this ePortfolio project! I think a good basic grasp on social psychology theories, etc. would benefit any person working in any field.
