Option 1

Think about what you have learned in this module and how you try to remember information (e.g., for exams, for work, etc.). What techniques have you learned that you might be able to apply to your own life to improve your memory at school or at work?

Option 2

How important is metamemory (metacognition about memory)? Is this a useful topic for college students to understand? If you had to describe metamemory to a college student in order to help him/her understand his/her own memory processes, on what would you focus? What aspects of metamemory are most important for college students to be aware of?
