Can students improve their ability to reflect on their learning, and change their study strategies? We are often unaware of our own learning processes, are resistant to changing our approaches, and frequently overly optimistic about how well we understand concepts. Thus, teaching self-regulated learning strategies, including metacognitive reflection, is notoriously challenging. We have collected data from several semesters of students enrolled in an undergraduate genetics course that promotes such practices and will report on our successes and plans for further interventions.

Since April 2020, NIST has been running this widely-attended program for STEM faculty seeking pedagogical support to navigate the continuing challenges in the world of learning and teaching. SI community members, friends and affiliates have met up to discuss "all things teaching and learning in epic times."
