Sessions

Sessions are designed to provide studying support for students throughout their weeks of study. 

Studying Support sessions draw upon strategies from the Wine Study Skills course and are designed to support students in multiple ways.

  • Tackle study material from a brain perspective through guided exercises 

  • Begin forming neural pathways in memory for new study material

  • Get set up to learn the new upcoming material more deeply, absorb more  details, understand the broader context and stick it into memory better

  • Become more efficient and effective while studying independently

  • Stay on track with your studying schedule

  • Experience more productivity (and even joy) while studying

  • Q&A for specific content & other studying related concerns
