This open educational resource (OER) was developed by Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) instructors to support the FYEX 1110 First Year Experience course at CNM. Students completing the FYEX 1110 Study Skills Application Activity will be asked to use this OER to learn about study skills strategies. The OER includes instructions and examples to assist students in developing reading skills, writing skills, and math skills as well as strategies to assist in organizing study materials and studying and preparing for tests.
FYEX 1110 students will be asked to practice these proven study strategies in the courses they are taking. They should read through the five chapters of the OER, and ultimately, they should select six study skills strategies that are most appropriate for the course(s) they are taking. Students should keep detailed logs of when and how they apply the strategies, as well as notes about the results they receive from these strategies. At the end of the project, students will be asked to write a final reflection paper about the process of developing their study skills and to provide some examples of the study materials they create.
