Description

Nate is a first-year student. He has had difficulty concentrating during the first week of lectures in his economics class and already seems to be losing his focus in his other classes. Listening to lectures and taking notes are extremely difficult for him. He’s finding that his notes do not make sense, and he seems to be lacking important lecture information.
