This course is designed to improve cadet academic performance and mental agility. Mastery of a variety of these strategies leads to development of a more self-regulated leader of character. Strategies presented include: help seeking (AI, Library, tutors), organization and time management, class preparation (text study system), test preparation, overcoming nerves, learned optimism and importance of attitude. The strategies mastered are implemented immediately into the cadets' present life at USMA and contribute to life-long learning. The course has no graded assignments. A final pass/fail grade determination is recorded on the cadet transcript.
