Intensive Workshop - Study Smarter Not Harder
The ‘Study Smarter Not Harder’ intensive workshop focuses on helping tertiary students, who aspire to succeed in their studies, overcome the challenges of different tasks such as essays, oral presentations, reports, and research papers. The workshop also helps students develop particular skills essential to academic study such as critical thinking, time management, goal setting and what to prepare before term starts. If you need help with your study, you are in the right place. Here you will find the workshop jam-packed with information and hands-on experience to help you improve your academic writing, reading, note-taking, oral presentation, group work, and exam. English learning such as phonetics and paragraph writing will be included in the workshop.
Workshop sizes are usually limited to a maximum of 25 students in order to maintain a fairly informal structure.
