There are many many aspects of what I do that I really enjoy. One of the absolute highlights though is working with smart, conscientious, innovative, creative students in my Applied Social Cognition (ASC) Lab. Cheers to all those students going beyond classes to gain research skills!!!

A new academic year looms. In the spirit of fostering metacognition, consider having your students complete a self-assessment of their study styles, note-taking skills, or more. This takes the work out of it for you -- students automatically get information about responses. Try it. lnkd.in/gfawUWzC

"When I got back to class (after presenting at the symposium), I JUST FELT SMARTER." Yes, helping students to present takes time and energy but one need do no more than listen to them after it to see why we need to do it more.

So interesting to reflect on different takes on priorities for the classroom. Was fun to play David to James' Goliath. There is more to college/class success that knowing the subject (content). These are some tough times in higher ed. A good reminder for us all to be more patient with each other.
