The Academic Success Centre is once again offering an online workshop series during the Spring 2024 term called Understanding How You Learn!  

In these workshops, we’ll discuss four topics which impact learning in significant ways: the brain, critical thinking, stress, and procrastination. We will explore how these topics influence your learning and how to leverage this understanding to your time at college and beyond. Hear from both the ASC’s Academic Coaches and Peer Tutors! 

Each workshop will be offered twice on the same day: over the lunch hour and at the end of the day. Attend whichever one fits best with your schedule!   

Visit the following link (https://library.rrc.ca/academic_coaching/UHYLWorkshops) for workshop dates, topics, descriptions and meeting links.

If you plan to attend a workshop and require accommodations, please email us: tutoring@rrc.ca.
