Get a Grip on your Studies
Do you find it difficult to perform at the level you are used to? Do you not know exactly what is expected of you during your studies at WUR? Or are you finding it harder than expected to settle into an unfamiliar living and study environment?
This training will help you understand the Wageningen education system and hopefully make your studies more enjoyable and easier.
Learn what works for you
In this training, you will discover what is expected from you as a WUR student. You will gain more insight into your study approach and will learn what works for you, and what does not help you.
You will get to know different study techniques and strategies, learn how to prioritise and to apply the basics of time management. In addition, we will give attention to taking exams, dealing with procrastination and stress.
Get a Grip on your Studies is cancelled for period 2, we have several options to choose from:
- If you speak/understand Dutch, sign up for Learning to learn /Leren leren – (in Dutch) with similar topics;
- Sign up for a 1-on-1 peer coaching trajectory to work on your study skills
- Attend the Tuesday Takeaway lunch workshops. In P2 - two workshops are on “Settling into life @WUR”
- Sign up for the ‘I am interested’ list and we will inform you asap about next dates (in P3 or P4).
- Sign up for a Heart-to-Heart talk to one of the Student Life Coaches.
- OR ..... sign up for Get a Grip on your Studies anyway. Trainer Michel Kropman will organise 1 group session. Participants will be invited to organise self-support (e.g. WhatsApp Group).
