Learning Preferences Workshop Announcement


Dear Student:
The Academic Advising Center would like to announce a workshop for students at UF.  You might want to consider attending this workshop, especially if you want to get a basic understanding of your learning styles to enhance your academic experience.  This presentation is helpful for those who are new to UF, as well as those who have been at UF for 2 or more semesters wishing to learn more about strengthening their learning skills.
Understanding Your Learning Preferences and Becoming a More Successful Student
Presenter: Robert Kwong
Date: 2/15/2017 Time: 4:05 PM - 4:55 PM
Location: Academic Advising Center (Farrior) 2000
Struggling in class even though you understood the material? Confused as to why you did not do as well as you hoped on the exam, although the homework was not difficult for you? When students do not perform to their highest academic potential, it is not due to inability. Rather, it is from not fully understanding how they learn best for each class. Having a better sense of your learning style or learning preference will give you the edge in becoming more successful in your classes, and provide you with the tools to adapt different to teaching styles. This workshop will provide a basic overview of the different learning styles and help you learn to discover which study skill methods work best for you.
Seating is limited.
Please sign-up by registering for the workshop at: https://www.advising.ufl.edu/workshops  and selecting “AAC”  from “Select a Workshop Area”.
Sincerely,
Robert Kwong
Academic Advisor

Not only will students receive Kaplan practice and resources, but for each student who signs up for one of our free practice exercises, we’ll donate to the Boys and Girls Club of America with a goal of donating 100 scholarships, valued up to $125,000, for students in need. It's a win win!
