term towards minimizing or eliminating your study skill non-strengths. State the steps you have
implemented and how these study skill implementations have or will enable you to be more efficient and
effective as a student. Which chapters in the book have impacted you the most and why? Describe a
study skill non-strength that you still need to work on for next term. How would you describe your
student style after taking this course, i.e. visual learner who primarily uses Cornell Notes, etc. Do you feel
this class was beneficial to you, explain why or why not. I am also looking to see you incorporate actual
definitions, concepts from the book and class discussion. Show creativity and give your paper a title that
best describes your experience taking this course.
