Organization

Learning

Learning is important but if its not organized you may be engaging in unnecessary ‘wasted learning’.  Wasted learning occurs when you spend 4 hours learning a concept and in two weeks you have to re-learn it. 

Resource

With the thousands of resources, webpages, ‘expert’ friends, professors and advisors available to students it is quite easy to be confused.  The process becomes a windy road of frustration.  Part of being successful is being able to navigate through the available options.  We help students maximize the often overwhelming number of resources available, to encourage efficiency and effectiveness.

Active Learning

We encourage active learning by using mental maps, mnemonics and spaced repetition systems.  Active learning can include but not limited to mental maps, mnemonics, note taking, reading to understand, etc.
