Did you know?

When we approach learning, it's not just about what to learn. We need to consider how to learn it. This means, we need to think in terms of learning strategies. The Study is here to help you learn more about how to learn.

The Learning Commons is a program of the Shepard Academic Resource Center. SARC offers more support for developing learning strategies, such as Learning Assistance Counseling and an online Academic Toolkit.
