Each session provides practical tools to support comprehension, retention, and effective communication by understanding how to implement the steps of the Study Cycle into your routine, how to take notes efficiently both in and out of class, how to engage in deeper learning techniques, and how to professionally communicate with professors to ensure you get the most out of your notes, class time, and study sessions.
