<p>I came across this video on the website of our Academic Success Center here at Iowa State. I watched all 5 parts and I am already seeing better results. </p>
<p>The concepts appear to be very simple but please, go over each video and pay attention to all the concepts discussed. </p>
<p>The concept of metacognition is a a powerful one and the reason why I think was doing poorly my first few months here- once you understand how metacognition can affect your study skills, you are on your way to doing much better.</p>
<p>I am glad I came across this while I am still a freshman here. For people who went through engineering school and finished with poor grades, chances are, your had poor study habits, you knew they did not work but instead of changing the approach and reevaluating what you were doing, you kept doing the same thing hoping that the outcome would be different, unfortunately, that does not happen!</p>
