Learning Tips & Tricks

Due to the pandemic, we have pivoted to hybrid learning where some classes are face-to-face and others online. In order to prepare our students for the "new normal" in the upcoming term, LPAs share their experiences and tips for successful learning to help students adapt and get the most out of hybrid classes and campus life.

Learning Is Different! Top 3 Hacks is a comprehensive library guide to learning tips & tricks curated by our LPAs. Furthermore, the LPAs conducted Succeed in Learning Workshops to introduce online learning tools that professors use in a virtual classroom and help students orient themselves towards a positive learning mindset. Check out the workshop slides and recordings and get ready for the new term with advice from your peers!
