This course focuses on improving students' lecture comprehension and note-taking skills so that they can successfully perform academic work. Students learn about U.S. academic lecture culture as well as specific strategies to apply before, during, and after lectures. Strategies include listening for headings, listening for word stress and redundancy, using background information and predicting effectively, recognizing patterns of organization, opinions and the impact of a speaker's style on lecture delivery. Emphasis is placed on the need for continual strategy development.
