How to Make College Courses Easy and How *Not* to Practice 'Self-Care'

Follow
Jeffrey Kaplan

This is the fourth in a series of videos intended for firstyear college students, tentatively titled "How to Do Well in College." This video explains that the common question "Is this course easy or hard?" is misplaced. Really, what determines whether a college course is hard or easy is not so much the course itself, but rather how one goes about taking that course. I talk through several examples to illustrate this. And then I go on a little rant about the phrase "SelfCare" and how it can mislead students. Giving oneself a break from the reading or notetaking required for a course makes the course harder than it needs to be, and really amounts not to selfcare, but to selfsabotage. Alternatively, if by "selfcare" you merely mean treating yourself to guacamole on your burrito, then go for it.
