Description
“They should have learned study skills in high school.” Yes-but what if they didn’t? University students sometimes arrive with brain power and drive, but without the organisation and habits necessary for academic success. Dorothy will demonstrate useful techniques for teaching and practicing academic study skills to help make students better at their most important university tasks – studying and learning.
