Assignment: Effective-Learning
The "effective-learning" assignment will test your ability to think, generate hypotheses, and, in general, apply psychological science. The task will be to read a paper referenced in the "A guide to Effective Studying and Learning" by Matthew G. Rhodes, Anne M. Cleary, & Edward L. DeLosh. Then you will write a brief (about 400 words) summary of the paper. In this summary, outline what the hypotheses were, what the methodology was, what the results were, and what are the implications of these results. You will then write an additional analysis (about 200 words) about how one could take the results of that study and use it to improve the efficiency of their own learning. In this second section, consider what the data show and how learners can apply those results to make themselves better learners. Think about this last section as a "letter to grandma" in which you explain how a particular memory/learning technique can be incorporated into your own learning. This section should be in simple language that anyone can understand.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
