Tematika

The course introduces students to study techniques and approaches that can be used effectively in studying any subject and passing exams at the university. Classes will include developing study skills and attitudes through interactive tasks to enhance focusing, reading, comprehension, grasping the main points, memorizing and logical thinking. Students will analyze their own studying customs and strategies, and will be guided through changing these habits if necessary, in order to study more effectively and willingly. After providing some theoretical background in the lectures, students can put into practice each technique in the seminars.
