Description

There are some skills we all need in life, and that we can all improve upon. Those include:

  • Learning and studying

  • Preparing for and taking an exam

  • Writing

  • Research, investigation, assessment, and deciding.

Whatever you do, want to do, or will do in life, you need those skills. This short course offers some basic pointers to help you with that.

Whatever your current level of education, you can and should continually improve upon these skills.

I share my tips with you, which I developed over years of my own learning, studying, test taking, writing, and teaching.

There is a lot of information and tools out there, including artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help us "write". But remember that research, thinking, and writing is a process and not just a destination. Build your skills with honest effort.

This course is not for everyone! It is academic type lectures, using my PowerPoint slides, no fancy graphics, no fancy video editing. It is not entertainment and you will need a ten minute attention span. Take your personal preferences into consideration and see a few sample videos before you decide if this is right for you. If you have a problem or need something, message me.

Spoiler alert: There are no magic short cuts. Let's face it, many promise magic solutions to (1) ace whatever test easily or (2) learn any subject easily, (3) help you become brilliant and with a perfect memory. I do not promise that. I just cover the basics and emphasize solid effort, solid strategies, and so forth.

Why this course? I have been teaching students for a while and I also created certification prep course. Students needed resources on learning, test taking, and writing, so I created them. It was time to share that with a broader audience so I created this course.

I present this valuable information to you for free, as my gift to you.

If you see that it is valuable, as described, and find it worthy of a five star review or other expression of appreciation, thank you.

Building these courses is a hobby for me, I do not have significant video recording skills, nor hardly any video editing skills, and there is no production team. It's slide and lectures. This course has almost no editing, so you will hear my pauses and misspeaks.

Who this course is for:

  • This is for students willing to put in effort to improve their skills for learning, studying, taking an exam, writing, and researching.
  • For those with a ten minute attention span and ability to sit through a no-frills lecture on each topic
  • This course is not for everyone but you can try out my lectures before enrolling. And money back if not satisfied. And it's free anyway.
  • Those seeking information but not edutainment. I am not an entertainer, just trying to provide solid information and knowledge.
