Thames Academy teaches students college readiness skills including how to prepare and study for exams. Thames Academy holds midterm and final exams in some of its college level courses and the instructors embed study strategies into these courses.
Introduction to Sociology, which is taken by all Thames students is a 3 credit college level course with a midterm and final exam. This semester Thames faculty, Jennifer Sullivan, is using an innovative, fun teaching tool to help students prepare for their upcoming exam.
The picture above is from a website called Cram.com. This website allows students to create virtual flashcards of key terms, hear the flashcards being read aloud, and includes 2 games to help students learn the flashcard content. In Sociology class yesterday, Oct. 9, students used the above matching game to begin studying terms for the upcoming midterm exam. Thames instructors know that repetition and small, manageable chunks of information help students better retain information.
