We’ll try out planning tools to help organise our time and stay on top of deadlines; explore how to make the most of lectures and seminars, how to take effective notes, how to communicate effectively with tutors, how to make a success of group work and how to read actively and plan assignments. These classes provide an invaluable opportunity to share and try out different approaches to learning with students from other disciplines.
