LASSI
The document discusses the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI), which measures 10 scales that can help students identify areas to improve their learning. The LASSI can provide prescriptive feedback to increase self-awareness and focus on thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs related to successful learning. It gives students a plan to follow to increase achievement in areas like time management, concentration, motivation, anxiety, and more. The document then provides more details on strategies for each of the 10 LASSI scales.
