For the past year or so, Bill Gehring (Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Psychology) has used questionnaires in several large-enrollment classes -- Introduction to Cognitive Psychology, the Summer Bridge Program, Introductory Psychology -- to identify the study habits and skills that correlate with class performance.  His primary goal has been to give feedback to students shortly after an exam that would help them to do better on their next exam. In this session, he will discuss several correlates of class performance related to study habits and laptop use, as well as some unexpectedly robust and perplexing findings on the non-cognitive factors underlying success in these classes.  

Sponsored by the Provost's Task Force on Learning Analytics, the Student Learning and Analytics at Michigan (SLAM) Seminar is a year-long speaker series.
