Active Learning:
While it IS necessary to put in time to master the complex concepts in your classes, it ISN’T ONLY the time you spend but what you do with that time. Successful students must find a way to OWN THE INFORMATION. This means that a student must take what is offered in the textbook and the lectures and not just memorize it but to UNDERSTAND, EXPLAIN, APPLY, ANALYZE AND EVALUATE IT.
