Learning How to Learn

All undergraduate, graduate and second-entry professional students

Academic Reboot (new May 2021)

This was a tough year! Join us for an interactive workshop and get a fresh start after an academic setback, unexpected grade, or failed course.

• identify your academic strengths and see where there is room to grow
• learn to navigate the academic resources you have available to you as you bounce back
• develop an academic action plan to rebound from an academic setback

Everyone stumbles sometimes. We’re here to help you connect to the right resources. Don’t just hope next semester is better – take the first steps to make sure it is!

The four-part workshop series below on Learning How to Learn will resume in summer 2021.

The Science & Practice of Learning

What’s the difference between studying and learning? In this workshop, learn about metacognition and the science of learning to implement practical strategies to engage actively in your studies and improve your performance.

• learn how we form memories and focus our attention
• harness your strengths to engage in deep learning
• apply retrieval and active learning strategies to meet academic expectations

Building a Routine for Learning

We can’t manage time; we can only manage ourselves over time. In this workshop, learn ways to build a healthy and realistic routine to connect to academic success.

• learn about the importance of stress to our cognitive performance
• identify the energy you need to complete different kinds of work
• create a realistic routine that provides flexible structure to your day

Building Habits to Learn Well

What does it mean to learn well? In this workshop, learn about the healthy and productive habits you can use to learn well, do well, and be well.

• discover the internal and external supports to support your academic motivation
• reflect on your strengths and your mindset to take control of your learning
• learn the power of cues, routines and rewards to make healthy and productive habits stick

Learning from Failure & Challenge

Challenges and difficulty are inevitable parts of learning, but they can be tough! In this session,  explore the importance of failure in how we learn and excel, and learn how to bolster our self-confidence against imposter syndrome.
