important skills that students need to learn, with consequences that will be felt throughout their lives” (Pashler, Bain, Bottge, Graesser, Koedinger, McDaniel, and Metcalfe, 2007, p. 1).

Questions to Aid Retention

1. How does this relate to what I already know?

2. What does it remind me of?

3. What can I associate it with?

4. Can I picture it in my mind?

5. What can I link this picture to?

6. How does it relate to the topic as a whole?

7. What crazy things pop into my mind when I think of it?

8. How can I use crazy associations to help me remember?

9. How does this relate to what I learned before?

10. How does it relate to my life outside this class? (Devine, 1987, p. 302)

Quizzes to Foster Retention

Items should foster retrieval: fill-in-the-blanks or essay better than multiple choice

Act of recalling information to answer a question helps to establish it in memory

Can be game-like activity. Need not be actual test.

SQ3R

Survey- get quick overview

Question- turn each heading into a question

Read- to answer the questions that you posed

Recite- stop at end of the section and test yourself. Go back to text if you can’t recite.

Review- at end of assignment

Judicious Review

For initial learning, need three or four varied presentations or experiences within two days of each other.

Interval between learning described above and added review should be approximately 5 to 10 percent of the time that the information has to be retained.

For formation to be retained for 60 days,reviews should not be scheduled for at least three to six days (5% X 60 days or 10% x 60 days).

Four Main Notetaking Skills
• Selectivity-choosing most important information
• Organization-showing how ideas are related
• Consolidation- condensing information
• Fluency- using telegraphic style & abbreviations to take notes quickly

Scaffolding Notetaking

Structured Notetaking- set up topics or heading beforehand, create partial notes for students to complete

Assisted Notetaking-provide brief practice sessions with scaffolds, such as cueing main topics

Cornell Notetaking System
Step 1: Record- write notes in second column
Step 2: Reduce or question- reduce each major idea to key words & write in first column
Step 3: Recite- quiz oneself on the material
Step 4: Reflect- relate information in notes to other sources
Step 5: Recapitulation- summarize notes
Step 6: Review- periodically review notes

  • Is there a possibility of plagiarism in my completed order?

    We complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.

    We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.

  • I received some comments from my teacher. Can you help me with them?

    Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.

    After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.

  • How will I receive a completed paper?

    You will get the first version of your paper in a non-editable PDF format within the deadline. You are welcome to check it and inform us if any changes are needed. If everything is okay, and no amendments are necessary, you can approve the order and download the .doc file. If there are any issues you want to change, you can apply for a free revision and the writer will amend the paper according to your instructions. If there happen to be any problems with downloading your paper, please contact our support team.
  • Where do I upload files?

    When you submit your first order, you get a personal account where you can track all your orders, their statuses, your payments, and discounts. Among other options, you will have a possibility to communicate with your writer via a special messenger. You will be able to upload all information and additional materials on your paper using the “Files” tab on your personal page. Please consider uploading everything you find necessary for our writer to perform at the highest standard.
