In this workshop, we explore various learning techniques that have been proven effective by professionals, other students, and my own experience, while pursuing my two-subject Master’s degree. We will explore methods such as spaced repetition, active recall, and the Leitner system, and examine how they can be adapted to best suit your individual needs, helping you integrate them effectively into your daily studies.

This workshop aims to provide you with a set of tools from which you can later choose the ones most suitable for your academic goals.

Aims:

After successful attendance, the participants will be able to...

• to understand and apply various learning techniques effectively,
• to select the most suitable techniques for their individual goals,
• to adapt learning methods to their personal needs,
• to combine learning techniques optimally to maximize the efficiency of their learning process.
