These skills are at the core of learning how to learn effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By developing metacognition, you gain a deeper understanding of how your own mind works, which means you can monitor your progress, identify areas for improvement, and adjust your learning strategies accordingly. Self-regulation skills allow you to take control of your learning process, set goals, make effective study plans, and stay motivated. When you combine metacognition and self-regulation, you become an empowered learner who can adapt to any subject or challenge, and ultimately, achieve academic success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#Back-to-Top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-skills-are-covered-in-learning-strategies\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What skills are covered in learning strategies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Time management and organization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metacognitive skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-regulated learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Active reading strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing procrastination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Studying and test-taking strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note-taking skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working in groups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oral presentation skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Writing strategies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sustaining focus on academic tasks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improving motivation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Setting clear learning goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#Back-to-Top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"connect-with-learning-strategies-support\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect with Learning Strategies Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PMC Students can request a referral to meet with a Learning Strategist from their <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/pmc\/about-pmc\/our-team\/#sect4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMC Coordinator<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#Back-to-Top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-other-learning-support-resources-can-i-access\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What other Learning Support Resources can I access?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-enroll in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/brightspace.carleton.ca\/d2l\/home\/53292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMC Learning Strategies modules on Brightspace<\/a>: They cover skills like time management, note-taking, and studying, are available 24\/7 and include downloadable resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/csas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centre for Student Academic Success<\/a> offers services available to support all ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University students to have successful academic experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#Back-to-Top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do learning strategies achieve?
