STEP 1)Imagine that one of your best friends is struggling with his classes

Subject:PsychologyPrice:2.84 Bought6

STEP 1)Imagine that one of your best friends is struggling with his classes. He aspires to graduate in exercise science and go on to earn a degree in occupational therapy, but he failed his first two chemistry exams. He's feeling nervous about his performance and comes to you for advice. During your discussion, you learn that:

·        he gets easily frustrated while working on chemistry problems after approaching them the way he has always approached problems in his other classes

·        he is sleeping less than five hours a night

·        he works on chemistry homework every Tuesday and Thursday night, but not on other days

·        he always keeps his phone on vibrate to check if he gets messages while he studies

·        he usually studies by re-reading the chapter

·        he pulls all-nighters before exams

STEP 2)Based on this conversation, explain to him why his studying habits are ineffective and what steps he might take to improve his learning. Include appropriate vocabulary from this module on memory, as well as things you've learned about consciousness and problem-solving from other modules.

I would suggest that his current techniques are not working. What sounds particularly ineffective is:

 

1)Merely re-rereading the chapter

2)Doing chemistry only twice a week

  1. Getting poor sleep
  2. Getting distracted by phone messages
  3. Approaching chemistry in the same way as other subjects

 

I would give the following advice:

 

  1. To get 8-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep (phone off), especially before an exam
  2. To work on chemistry homework daily but in small chunks of time
  3. To turn off his phone while studying
  4. To get assistance from a tutor
  5. To try practicing problems hands-on or reading the chapter aloud, activating different learning styles

Step-by-step explanation

I don't have access to your module to reference the vocabulary.
