No, it will not tell you what the right answer is or which one you got wrong. You just get your total score. Your job is then to go back and check the readings to find out the information that you missed and try again.

//**Final Project**// or Final Exam: The goal of the study strategies class is not only to have the students learn the strategies that they need, but to have them apply these strategies to a college level class, other than the study strategies class. I find that students can do this by teaching other students. Therefore, I give them a case scenarios, where they have to teach another student the study strategies for another course. To facilitate this, I have them write a journal each week. I can comment on the journal and redirect, if need be. I am not looking for a study guide in Math, for example, but a cognitive process on how to study math, using the strategy of the week. At the end of the course, the get to use their journals to write a 5 - 10 paper that is a study strategies guide to a specific college course.

 * Create your own talking animation or have students create theirs and have them mail it to you. It comes as a mp3 file that you can then upload to your LMS if you want to share it with the class. Here is one made by my friend, Claire Brooks, in Australia.
