Experiences in Studying Psychology
JOURNAL 1 Prompt
Goal: The goal for this journal is to practice metacognition - thinking about your own process of learning.
Purpose: The beginning of the semester can be a LOT. You got different information from all of your professors and will need to organize it and remember it, and continue doing this every week of the semester.
