  • Understand and retain information from lectures
  • Improve test scores with effective study strategies
  • Make a study plan for final exams

Workshop #1: Strategies for completing long-term assignments (projects and essays)

Monday, April 27th (7:00-7:30pm)

Writing assignments and long-term projects require advanced executive skills and are some of the most complicated tasks students are expected to complete. This workshop teaches students strategies and techniques to more effectively complete long-term assignments and will support students who:

  • Are feeling overwhelmed
  • Have a hard time getting started
  • Miss assignment requirements
  • Fail to plan enough time to do quality work

Register for the first workshop!


Workshop #2: Effective note-taking

Monday, May 4th (7:00-7:30pm)
Note-taking is a powerful learning tool. However, many students find themselves rushing to record notes and then miss the opportunity to fully absorb the lesson. To help students better understand and remember material presented in class, Kelly will share the three key elements of effective note-taking and several different structures for taking notes.

Register for the second workshop!


Workshop #3: Planning and studying for final exams

Monday, May 11th (7:00-7:30pm)
Re-reading notes is a commonly used method for test preparation, yet it is one of the most ineffective. This workshop will focus on research-based study strategies that can be used by students to more effectively prepare for final exams. Participants will also learn how to build and implement a final exam study plan.
