Seven * Eight Rules for Learning

Welcome to my student learning website.



This site was originally set up for students in my freshman and sophomore biology classes, and it includes a subset of materials that some past students felt was useful to understand or change their own learning. I've written the materials in ways that I hope will be useful to others as well. Questions or comments are welcome --> pdheid@wm.edu
