Learn How to Learn in University
- Want to learn more about managing your workload at university?
- Unsure of the best way to take notes in lecture?
- Looking to strengthen your writing skills?
- Interested in trying new study techniques?
Practice student-tested tips and strategies in weekly Learning Labs with an Academic Skills Instructor and an experienced Trent student to enhance your learning habits.
In a short 30-minute session, we will focus on a different learning strategy each week on topics such as managing time, procrastination, reading and notetaking, writing, as well as studying and exam prep. Both participants and observers are welcome, so feel free to listen along or jump in and share your own tips and tricks!
Most weeks, the same Learning Lab will be offered twice: Monday at 11:30am in-person in Bata Library and Wednesday at 7pm over Zoom.
Registration
Register for your preferred Learning Lab time or join us for both to enjoy double the fun! Sign up through the Trent Student Experience Portal and find the Peterborough Events Calendar on the left-hand menu.
