“Making Learning Stick: Strategies for Successful Learning”

Thursday, Jan. 28
Morris University Center Conference Center

The presenter is Henry L. Roediger, III, James S. McDonnell Distinguished Professor of psychology at Washington University in St. Louis.

Workshop description: Surveys of college students show that their typical study strategies are not optimal for producing strong, durable learning. If they have spent most of their lifetimes learning, we can ask why they don't learn more effective strategies?
