Tuesday Study Skills Classes
STUDY SKILLS (spring)
Grades 7 to 12
Semester Fee: $32
Do you know a student who doesn’t seem to be that much smarter than anyone else, or doesn’t seem to work that
much harder, and yet they consistently excel? Compared to their classmates, smart students learn more in less time, receive
higher grades, and have more fun in the process. How do they do it? This class will attempt to help you find practical answers
to these questions, and more. The real answers to the above questions are that smart students have different skills, goals,
habits, priorities, and strategies because they see school, the learning process, and even themselves differently. This class
will require short readings in the text each week and NO homework. That’s right, NO homework. You will take the skills
you learn each week and use them in the classes you are already taking. We will utilize the book What Smart Students Know
and the video series How to be a Superstar Student by the Teaching Company.
REQUIRED TEXT: What Smart Students Know by Adam Robinson, ISBN 0-517-88085-7 can be purchased or ordered through Barnes
& Noble using your teacher’s discount for approximately $15.
