Study Skills revived

This past week I ressurrected a study skills seminar I originally gave to the bridge watchman course at Malaspina University College (now Vancouver Island University). The husband of one of my caregivers is taking the same course at BCIT in North Vancouver and so I brushed off my notes and shared them with Darin.
They center around the idea that the tool for learning is the brain and the brains purpose is to answer questions. One of the best ways of doing this is the Cornell Note taking method.

  2. Hi John, this is excellent, I didn't know about this technique but it makes a lot of sense. I've got a few young people that I'm going to share this with. Thanks for the wonderful post and it's nice to hear from you !! You're getting very creative with posting hyperlinks into your blog now as well - very nice work. I think about you and Laverne all the time. Much love, Juhli.
