Dear Year 11 students,
Welcome to a new year of study!
The first presentation below provides some ideas for quality note-taking based on how your long-term memory works.
You can also download the file of suggestions for your research investigation at the link below the presentation.
In case you have replaced the hints and handouts given out late last year, look at the post below this one.
We wish you a happy and rewarding year in 2016.
Kind regards from
Roslyn Green and Gemma Corbo

The last activity referred to in the handout and the explanations is titled: “Become a student rat”. It required you to “shape” a fellow student’s behaviour. The video below will provide you with a practical application of this idea, based on operant conditioning, a concept developed and studied intensively by the famous behaviourist, B.F.Skinner.

And a fascinating story:
The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat
