“Teaching to Promote Self-Regulated Learning”
Wednesday, Oct. 20, form 2:30 - 4 p.m. in St. Thomas Hall, room 590 
Dr. Linda Nilson (Clemson University)

Self-regulated learning is the metacognitive skill and practice of strategically planning, monitoring, and evaluating one's learning — a key study habit that few students know about. Many studies tell us that instructors can improve their students’ exam performance, written and designed products, and problem-solving skills by incorporating into their courses even one or two of the many forms of self-regulated learning activities. These modest additions also reduce the overconfidence that many students feel about their mastery of the material and their ability to apply it.

After this workshop, you will be able to design and integrate proven self-regulated learning assignments and activities into your courses. You can choose from among those designed for specific times during the term (beginning, middle, and end) and those connected to lectures, readings, problem sets, papers, projects, quizzes and exams. Refreshments will be provided.
