Developing Independent Learning – Research Skills, Time Management, and Study Habits
Becoming an independent learner is essential for academic success, particularly as students transition into more challenging studies. This course is designed to help students develop effective research skills, time management strategies, and productive study habits. They will learn how to find and assess credible sources of information, an important skill for coursework and projects.
Time management is another key area of focus, with students learning how to prioritise tasks, set realistic goals, and create structured study schedules. They will also explore different study techniques, such as summarisation, active recall, and spaced repetition, which can improve memory retention and learning efficiency. By the end of this course, students will have the tools they need to become self-motivated, organised, and successful in their academic journey.
