Time management is easy when you have the right tools and resources, so come see what your busy life is missing and make your schedule work to your advantage.
Why is it so hard to remember what you just heard in lecture or just read in your text? It is important to get the most out of the time you put into studying. Discover how applying "The Study Cycle" and other learning strategies can make your study time more
effective. Working hard and working smart are different; come learn how to work smart and make the most out of your study time!

test? Come to this workshop to develop a study plan schedule that actually works!
Group projects: A slacker's dream? A perfectionist's idea of cruel and unusual punishment? Whether we like it or not, we're thrown into group projects all the time (science class anyone?)-- and that's not going to change anytime soon. This workshop will give you
tips and strategies for surviving group work.
