Super Speed Study Skills

 Teacher comments:

•  “Excellent ideas for all students both with specific learning needs and not. Different, original techniques. Reminder to use both sides of the brain, all senses, silly and unusual techniques.”

•  “Encouraging new ways of learning...encouraging self esteem of all kids, especially those with learning/behaviour difficulties.”

 Student comments (based on random sample of 5 students)

 4 Stars

•  “It was very good but the only fault was it was a bit too cheesy. It was engaging and exciting and I think most of us enjoyed it.” (Emily, Yr 10)

• “Good useful tips, easy to understand, lots of good pictures, colours and examples. A bit repetitive – should have been more interactive, touching things.” (Abby, Yr 10)

5 Stars

•  “Very clear when speaking. Patient. Humour to make more interesting.” (Brad, Yr 10)

• “It was good fun and interesting, and I think it will help me lots.” (Will, Yr 10))

• “I didn’t feel bored. I really feel like I have come out of today with something. I almost feel excited about revising! I have also learned about Albert Einstein and Mohammed Ali – which is always a bonus.” (Flossie, Yr 10)
