This document outlines the tentative schedule for a College Study Methods course in Spring 2016. It lists the weekly topics and assignments, including quizzes, discussions, and exams. The instructor notes that late work will not be accepted and is automatically submitted by the system after Sunday evenings at 11:59 pm. The instructor reserves the right to make changes if needed and will post announcements to alert students. The schedule runs from weeks 1 to 8 and includes units on test taking strategies, memory improvement, note taking, learning styles, communication, and goal setting.

1. College Study Methods (TENTATIVE) Spring 2016 Schedule
*I don’t accept late work because it is not fair to those who get their work in on time. If you attempt to turn in
an assignment late but don’t see an option for submission it is because the system automatically hides the
submission link after 11:59 pm on Sunday evenings. (unless otherwise specified.)
*I reserve the right to change the schedule as needed. I will post an announcement alerting you of any changes.
