College Bootcamp: DAY 1

WELCOME TO COLLEGE BOOTCAMP! Today kicks off the first day of our success playlist and we are jumping right into a cornerstone topic -- STEM study skills! 

College coursework is challenging across the board, but there are some essential skills that can help crack the code for science learning specifically.  In the videos below, you will learn about some easy, actionable, and science-backed study habits that you can implement into your schedule from day one. For example, planning for spaced out, high intensity study sessions can help you master STEM content while harnessing the benefits of diffused thinking and allowing for long-term memory and understanding. Some of the videos below will also reference how the study habits you build in college like active learning will be reflected and reused in your future careers such as in the medical school teaching mantra of "see one, do one, teach one." 

Most importantly, be mindful that your STEM coursework is supposed to be challenging and it is only through taking on the struggle that you will develop effective studying skills. Throughout the semester, reflect on your study successes and setbacks, consider the tips below, make adjustments as needed, and ask for help!
