LEARNING PRINCIPLES for students of Dr. Bethany Contreras Main Menu

learningprinciples

Please read this VERY CAREFULLY. This set of tutorials is about the basic principles of learning and how they relate to your success in life. Tutorials build upon each other and you must work through them in serial order, you can't skip any. Each "set" is a series of screen presentations to which you respond by typing a word or two. This will require you to think a little each time because the program insists that you understand each point. You cannot go backwards when working through a given set of frames. Read everything carefully as the program will constantly test your memory. A momentary green flash signals that you have responded correctly and have advanced forward. Sometimes you may need to try again. Finish each successive tutorial before you take a break. Remember the first and last name you used to sign in and continue to use it when you advance to the next set in the menu. If you fail to use the same name each time you cannot advance to future tutorials. Read all frame content very carefully before you answer and earnestly try to answer each frame. If your ongoing percent correct rate falls below 70 percent, you will be automatically returned to the beginning of the set. Each set will take you between 6 to 16 minutes to complete with an average time of 10 minutes each if you maintain an ongoing score of better than 70 percent correct. Now, enter your name and click on a set number below to experience automated instruction.

By applying your new knowledge, you can take big steps to enjoying life more!

If your score falls below 70%, you will be returned to the beginning of the tutorial.
