3 The Learning Cycle
Understanding how you learn can help make learning and studying easier. Skills like planning your learning and thinking about your learning strategies can help you evaluate whether your learning is progressing and if it is effective. Understanding the learning process is connected to success.
Can I explain the material to someone else without referring to notes?
Can I create and answer self-testing questions about these concepts?
Am I using the learning supports available to me (e.g., instructor office hours, tutors, library, Writing Centre, English as Additional Language supports)?
Did I learn the material effectively? (Evaluation)
How well did I meet the learning objectives for this unit?
What in my test preparation worked well?
If my test preparation didn’t go well, what do I want to change?
