Faculty-specific workshops
Publics:

You often ask us:
- How can I adapt general strategies to my specific courses?
- Is time management the same across all faculties?
- Does my faculty offer a specific program?
- How can I adapt my study habits to specific courses?
You’re not alone in wondering how to transfer what you’ve learned in thematic workshops to your specific courses. Learning methods are generally the same in each faculty. However, in collaboration with certain faculties, we have adapted these methods to suit your specific needs.
Unless otherwise stated, all workshops are conducted in French.
