While the internet offers a lot of self-help advice for students, it is not typically backed by neuroscience. Through this workshop, participants will build a fundamental understanding of learning as a process and sift through the good and bad advice available to them.

The workshop will be in a flipped-classroom model, driven by participants’ questions and their explorations of the same. This is different from a traditional classroom model, where knowledge is mainly shared through lecturing. Because of the interactive student-driven nature of the workshop we do not have rigid learning outcomes, which means that everyone will be taking home something slightly different from the sessions — and that is perfectly fine!

Topics in the workshop we’re likely to touch upon:

• Introduction to learning and memory
• Application of insights from neuroscience, psychology, and education science to personal learning habits
• Neurodiversity awareness
• The scientific method and critical-thinking

Date & Venue: The workshop will be held over Zoom for a single day in November (see the question about the dates further below in the form).

Timings:
Session 1: 11 am — 1:30 pm
Lunch break: 1.30 — 2.30 pm
Session 2: 2.30 — 5.00 pm
