Recommendation Letter

Dear Future Students:

Strategies for success is an optional course but as my schedule turned out to be full, it was the only option I had. I came into the class unexcited and close minded. I thought "I have been in school since I was 5 years old, I know what my learning techniques are so I do not need to take a course like this one..." But to my surprise this course actually had a big payoff for me.
I have learned many new strategies that i will take with me throughout the rest of my college years!
I have always gotten good grades so i assumed the techniques i was using must be the best, but as to my surprise they were actually bad habits. This class showed me that iIam a person that memorize everything, I didn't usually care if I knew what I was reading all that mattered to me what that i could memorize it word for word. After reading a few chapters and doing a few "new technique" assignments Tim gave us I saw that i felt less stressed and more confident when i took the time to learn what i was reading rather then just memorizing it.
My favorite lesson i will definitely take with me all through school is the Multiple learning strategy assignment we did. I had to take notes and then review them daily. I found it helped my ALOT when it came to learning long processes!
I feel less stressed when it comes to school. I lengthen out my studying times, rather then cramming and I am doing very well in school!
I defiantly believe that this course should not only be an optional course but a mandatory one!
