- Affect (drive, motivation, directing attention)
- Behavior (actions, communication styles and skills)
- Cognition (metaphysical, infracognitive and metacongitive thinking skills)

This course was very insightful. It was well organized and provided both the theory and application for strategies that will help all students. Self-regulation does not seem to be a topic that commonly comes up in educational discussions, but Dr. Cash shows how it is so important in students’ learning and overall well-being. There was a lot to learn in this presentation, and it was well worth my time.
