What This Document Is
This is a student assignment – specifically, M3A1 from RTE 2864 (Student Success) at Indian River State College. It requires students to explore and compare academic skills and strategies, focusing on one skill (reading, note-taking, studying, writing, quantitative literacy, or information literacy) and contrasting a current approach with a newly researched one. The provided excerpt shows a student’s work on the note-taking skill, detailing their existing “list method” and a researched “outline method.”

What This Document Provides
The full assignment asks for a detailed description of both a current and a new academic strategy, along with a comparison of the two. This excerpt includes: a student’s description of their current “list method” for note-taking, a description of the researched “outline method,” and a partial comparison between the two. The complete assignment also requires students to cite at least two external resources related to the chosen academic skill, which is not shown here.
