Freshers’ faculty-specific "Successful studies" workshops

---

Workshops developed in collaboration with your faculties, centers, or institutes to help you adapt learning strategies to your specific courses from your very first academic semester.

• Do you want to save time and start your university studies with effective strategies?
• Are you unsure how to tailor learning strategies to specific courses?
• Do you feel that some strategies don’t work according to the format of your classes?
• Are you wondering how to organize your weeks based on your syllabus?

Description

While learning styles generally remain the same across faculties, it can sometimes be challenging to apply or adapt a strategy to a particular course. In partnership with some faculties, we offer personalized workshops in which the chosen examples are drawn from your courses and correspond to the organization of your weeks. These teachings are transferable, and the four workshops are open to students from other faculties, centers, or institutes at UNIGE.

Educational objectives

• Adopt realistic planning;
• Adapt learning strategies to the format of the courses;
• Identify fundamental principles applicable to any learning situation.
