Academic Workshops
Mindset for Success
Students respond to challenges, setbacks, or constructive feedback in different ways
and this is primarily because of their mindset on their growth. This workshop will
have students look at their goals and role models to understand and plan for how much
work and effort it takes to succeed, and how academic ability is not static, but rather
a product of their time, effort, and interest in the goals they set for themselves.
Preparing for Exams
Students will build a practical study plan for their final exams by exploring personal
study strategies and practicing how to break exam materials down into smaller study
units.
