Keisha is a first-year student taking 15 credits. She has found out that there is a lot of work required for each class. She also sees that instructors seem to have a different way of teaching their classes and emphasizing the material. Keisha seems to be having the most trouble with her philosophy class and is finding the lecture hard to follow. She got a D on the first test and is worried. The instructor discusses many aspects of the different philosophers’ theories during the lecture and is asking students to compare and contrast the underlying concepts. Keisha is having difficulty tying them together and is more in tune with the names of key figures, dates, and major points. Her next test is in two weeks.
