What is learning?

• It is an acquired change in behavior - not simply
  the accumulation of knowledge it involves change
  in attitude, behavior, interests, and values
• Not the mere acquisition of facts, but the
  integration of knowledge to comprehend meaningful
  relationships, to provide new knowledge and
  skills
• Those most satisfied with their university years
  are those who take the greatest advantage of the
  opportunities to learn.

Case Studies

• 1. Rick is a new student at Ohio State. He just
  found out that he failed his Psych 100 midterm.
  Hes carrying 14 hours this quarter, and hes
  getting a lot of financial aid (hes not sure
  whathis mom is keeping track of it for him).
  Hes afraid he might fail the course. What
  should Rick do about his situation? Outline an
  action plan for Rick to follow to find out what
  his options are.
• 2. Its the week after finals, and grades should
  be posted by now. Mandy looked hers up online
  and saw her grades for everything except CSE 201,
  the course she really wanted to know her grade
  for. What should she do?
• 3. Tom is still a freshman at Ohio State, having
  completed 35 hours, including credits from Math
  151, in which he received a D. Taking
  advantage of Freshman Forgiveness, he retook Math
  151 hoping to improve his CPHR. Unfortunately, he
  got a "D" the second time around. How many
  points has Tom earned for Math 151 that will be
  included in his CPHR? Does Tom have to repeat
  Math 151 again? Why or why not? Is Tom eligible
  for another chance to use Freshman Forgiveness on
  Math 151?
