4-week course pack

Print-ready outline below. Each week pairs one of the 5 study-skills modules with a hands-on practice block. Designed for one 45-min class session per topic, with daily 10-min retrieval homework in between.

Worksheet bundle

Each module's Teacher view has a 10-question worksheet with answer key. The links below open each module directly to its Teacher tab — use "Regenerate questions" to get a fresh shuffled copy, then "Print worksheet".

Cross-module rubric

Use to evaluate students' integrated study practice. Each row scored 0–4 = 24 total.

• Memory: can demonstrate at least two encoding techniques (palace + one other) on assigned material.
• Spaced repetition: shows a working schedule (paper or app) and a mature card > 21-day interval.
• Active recall: can blurt one week's material with ≥ 60% of key points recalled.
• Feynman: can deliver a 4-step pass aloud with no hand-waving in step 4.
• Note-taking: Cornell or comparable system used during a real lecture (artifact submitted).
• Integration: can describe how each module feeds the next without prompting.
