Information on Workshop Topics
Effective Time Management
Going to class, doing readings and assignments, studying for tests and exams, working, spending time with friends and family, playing sports, working out…how do you find time to do it all?
This workshop will give you the opportunity to reflect on the attitudes and values you bring to your learning environment and how they impact on your goals and time management. Specific strategies for setting short, medium and long-terms goals will be discussed and concrete ideas for managing your time optimally will be presented.
Note-taking Techniques
Good notes contribute to your overall success as a student. This workshop presents strategies for taking notes during lectures and while reading that will result in clear, concise, and meaningful notes which you can use for review and for research purposes.
Reading Strategies
Does reading make you sleepy? Do you spend a lot of time reading or re-reading without really knowing what you have read? This workshop will provide you with an easy-to-use reading technique that will help you read more effectively.
Critical Thinking Skills
Critical thinking underlies all aspects of your university studies; it is essential to your success as a student. This workshop outlines the attitudes of a critical thinker and ways in which you can read, write, speak, and listen more effectively to become a critical thinker.
Class Participation and presentation Skills
Participating in class, as an individual or as part of a group, helps you get the most out of your course. But many students find it difficult to voice their opinions and contribute to a class discussion or to participate effectively in group presentations.
This workshop will introduce students to strategies that will help them overcome their reluctance to be active participants in the class. The workshop will also discuss the aspects of an effective presentation.
Academic Writing
This workshop will present the basic elements and steps required to ensure you have a well-written academic paper. The writing process, from brainstorming to editing, and the use of citations will be discussed.
Memory and Test-taking Strategies
Don't like taking tests? Don't do well on them? This workshop will help you develop a more positive attitude towards taking tests and exams and will provide simple techniques to help you prepare for tests and exams.
Dealing with Exam Anxiety
Many students experience anxiety related to taking exams which can result in marks that don't reflect their knowledge and ability. Some students become overwhelmed with negative thoughts and emotions. This workshop will present ways to help you become aware of those thoughts and emotions as well as how to manage them so they do not interfere with your ability to do well on tests and exams.
