As you become aware of your learning strengths, you will be able to select effective learning strategies. Consider the following questions: Who are you now as a learner? What skills and strengths do you already bring to the study process? As you move to the next phase in your university studies, you already bring a foundation of habits and practices with you. Some may be supporting your success, others may be hindering you from achieving your goals.

In the next learning activity, you will review a chart of helpful study strategies that contribute to success. Put a checkmark beside the strategies you are currently using. How do these practices contribute to your success? You may also observe that you are not yet using a range of effective learning strategies. Don’t worry! As you continue to move through this book, you will be exposed to a number of strategies that can contribute to your success.
