It is the place where you learn &#8216;how to study&#8217; as much as you learn &#8216;what to study&#8217;. At university, you develop the study and learning strategies that you&#8217;ll likely use throughout your career, so take the time whilst you are here to familiarise yourself with what we know about how best to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, investing in improving how you study can make your study more efficient and effective.<\/p>\n<p>As far as Flinders resources go, remember that <a
