Imagine that one of your best friends is struggling with his classes. He aspires to graduate

in exercise science and go on to earn a degree in occupational therapy, but he failed his first two

chemistry exams. He's feeling nervous about his performance and comes to you for advice. During

your discussion, you learn that:

? he gets easily frustrated while working on chemistry problems after approaching them the way

he has always approached problems in his other classes

? he is sleeping less than five hours a night

? he works on chemistry homework every Tuesday and Thursday night, but not on other days

? he always keeps his phone on vibrate to check if he gets messages while he studies

? he usually studies by re-reading the chapter

he pulls all-nighters before exams

STEP 2: Based on this conversation, write an email to your friend (between 200-400 words),

explaining to him why his studying habits are ineffective and what steps he might take to improve

his learning. Include appropriate vocabulary from this module on memory, as well as things you've

learned about consciousness and problem-solving from other modules.
