Here is what our workshop participants have said about what they learned and liked about the Academic Success Workshops,

“What I find the most beneficial in this workshop are the strategies and tips of preparing and taking an exam.  It really was helpful and beneficial.  What I also would like to learn about is the subject of how to create studying more fun and creative, and not boring towards other people.”
