Often students are motivated to get a good grade, but fail to “own†the information. I encourage my students to “own†the information rather than just learn it to pass a test. If they review the material, find it relevant to their furture lives, discuss it, try to teach it to someone and if possible apply it; then they “own†it. In other words they have put it into long term memory. Then when they need to use it in the real world they have it. Or can easily go to the source for details.
Student need to be encouraged to "own" knowledge and skills.
