4. Module #2 Metacognition
This was my favorite module because I learned what metacognition
meant. Metacognition is a students’ awareness on the level of
understanding and to hard and still fail. I personally have struggled
with this. I believed in my mind that if I studied long and hard enough
that I could remember pic. If you use ineffective or inefficient
strategies you can study long and more of the material that I was
studying. I have failed many test using that strategy. Metacognition is
one of the key differences between successful students and struggling
students.
