MARTIN, Tenn. – Dr. Bill Klemm, noted educator and researcher in neuroscience, will give a lecture titled “Better Grades, Less Effort” at 7:30 p.m., March 28, at the University of Tennessee at Martin. His presentation will be held in Watkins Auditorium of the Boling University Center.
Klemm is a Distinguished Alumnus of Auburn University and a Distinguished Member of Sigma Xi. He pioneered in the development of Internet based collaborative learning environments, co-creating a software program called FORUM that was the forerunner of Internet "wikis." He has authored much of the science curriculum material for middle schools on the website, peer.tamu.edu.
Each month, Klemm writes a newspaper column for baby boomers about memory, attentiveness, perception and similar topics that are based on studies in medical and neuroscience literature. He maintains a blog site, “Improve Your Learning and Memory,” and also writes a blog for Psychology Today. His blog posts have drawn over a quarter million reader views.
The lecture is co-sponsored by the UT Martin Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society and Honors Programs.
"It’s always good to have well-known experts in their respective fields come to UT Martin to share their extensive knowledge with our university community," said Dr. Lionel Crews, director of Honors Programs. "It’s even better when it can help you improve your memory and get better grades in the process."
