Academic Skills Workshops

Workshops focus on transferable academic skills. These are skills that include many aspects of management such as self-management, stress management, time management, project management; presentation and writing skills, test-taking skills, and reading and organizing literature information skills. Academic skills also include more personal and interpersonal skills (“people skills”) like creativity, self-motivation, adaptability, listening skills, diplomacy, empathy, honesty, open-mindedness, communication (such as with your advisor), being independent but also working effectively in groups, mentoring, and many more. Please note that our Academic Studios are currently only offered within the School of Engineering and focus on technical skills (how to use citation managers, software to enhance your learning, etc.).
