TRiO Word of Week - Retrodict

Don't make the same mistake over and over!!!

Our TRiO Word of the week is “retrodict.” Retrodict means to utilize present information to explain a past event. Whereas, the word “predict” indicates something in advance, retrodict recognizes the present when explaining the past.

Review your grades so you can retrodict past studying techniques. In other words, if you want to increase your class performance change your old studying techniques and engage in newer techniques. Retrodiction amounts to doing the same things over and over with the same outcome. So as you retrodict any unpleasant grades, employ newer studying techniques to change the outcome.  

TRiO Word - Bespoke

Bespoke Suit

Our TRIO Word of the week is “bespoke.” Bespoke means to custom-make. Usually, bespoke is used when you acquire custom-made clothing like a man’s suit. However, I want you to think about bespoke when studying by creating custom-made tests. Created  bespoke tests can improving your means of grasping the materials by quizzing yourself.

So create bespoke quizzes to determine if you have grasped the subject contents when you are studying.
