Student Services (Winter 2023)

Academic Success Skills focuses on developing and enhancing the academic skills necessary to succeed at university and in professional settings by cultivating lifelong learning strategies. Theory-based and experiential, students will have opportunities to understand and reflect upon their learning preferences and knowledge gaps, to set goals, and to gain independent learning strategies and practical skills. Topics include time management, goal-setting, effective study strategies, reading for academic purposes, note-taking, and test-taking; students will also practice and improve fundamental research, writing, and citation skills for a solid understanding of academic integrity and effective communication in academic and professional settings.
