Workshop Overview:
Title: Evidence-based Note-Taking to Halve Study Time and Double Memory Retention at University â an iCanStudy Interactive Workshop
Background:
In this interactive, practical workshop, Archer Newton, iCanStudy’s COO and one of the senior learning coaches, will present evidence-based, high-efficiency learning strategies to shed light on the techniques and approaches students can use to excel in their university assessments.
Recent research has exposed how the brain learns most effectively, emphasising the importance of higher-order thinking skills and self-regulated learning. Traditional study methods, such as highlighting, flashcards, and rote memorisation, often fall short for students, particularly when facing the challenges of university assessments.
After conducting a trend analysis on past yearsâ university assessment commentaries and survey results from educators, students, and academic advisors, these were the recurring issues and challenges identified:
Our agenda during the workshop is to dive deep into each one of these challenges and discuss:
