Directions
Imagine one of your best friends is struggling with his classes. They aspire to graduate in exercise science and go on to earn a degree in occupational therapy, but failed their first two anatomy and physiology exams. They’re feeling nervous about their performance and come to you for advice. During your discussion, you learn that:
they get easily frustrated while working on chemistry problems after approaching them the way they have always approached problems in his other classes
they are sleeping less than five hours a night
they work on chemistry homework every Tuesday and Thursday night but not on other days
they always keeps their phone on vibrate to be aware of any messages as they come in
they usually study by re-reading the chapter
they pull all-nighters before exams
Based on this conversation, write a fictitious email to your friend (minimum of 200 words) explaining why these studying habits are ineffective and what steps they might take to improve their learning.
When you provide specific advice to your friend, cite course materials, such as (Module 8 Presentation, Slide 1) or (Crash Course Psychology #13, 1:58). Module materials do not need to be added to a reference page. If you supplement with outside resources, a reference page will be required.
