Preparing for class 

Good preparation entails consciously working on your own learning.   

There are many different forms of teaching at a university. Most students are familiar with lectures and group tuition, while others also have laboratory teaching, clinical training and theoretical exercises. They all require preparation. Preparation is also required for group work, supervision, project work and so on. 

As a student, you spend a lot of time preparing, but there is no single way to prepare. Good preparation depends on the course and your learning style. Therefore, it’s a good idea to try out different methods and continuously consider how you can prepare well and effectively and enhance your learning process.  

    

What influences your preparation?

Students who find it challenging to prepare sometimes discover that other aspects of their student life are getting in the way of good preparation. 

Consider whether you need to understand.
