Document Summary

Self-knowledge (gives you the tools to choose how you respond to circumstances) and metacognition (thinking about thinking) helps you to become a better student. Everyone has their own learning style (a particular way in which the mind receives and processes information) Intelligence (as defined by howard gardner) - an ability to solve problems or create products that are of value in a culture. Gardner"s research led him to believe that there are 8 types of intelligences (verbal-linguistic, logical- mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, visual-spatial, interpersonal (relating to others), intrapersonal (understanding one"s own self), musical, and naturalistic) Typology - a systematic classification or study of types. Figuring out your instructors teaching styles and adjusting to them will help you get the most out of that class. Internships - temporary work programs in which a student can gain supervised practical experience in a job and career area.
