Learning Strategies for University Success (ED-D 101)
The university experience is centered on learning new skills. And who says they can't be study skills?
Whether you're coming directly from high school, transferring from a college, or have had some time away from the classroom, we offer a credited course to help you become a better university student.
Based on contemporary research in the field of education and learning, this course ensures that every undergraduate student at UVic has access to the tools they need to achieve academic success. ED-D 101 will help you:
