Meta-Cognitive Learning and Mesabi Classes

I have started taking a psychology class at Mesabi Range to fulfill my general education requirements, and I saw this as an opportunity to apply my meta-cognitive strategies from IRE to areas other than engineering. Instead of simply reading the chapters and taking the tests like I did before coming to IRE, I'm writing outlines of the course material and answering the extra questions to help cement what I've learned. I review the material for the sake of understanding it, so even after the tests are over I can retain that knowledge. I'm also creating my own models to remember difficult topics, which is a method I've never used before in a general education class.
