\u201cIt\u2019s not how smart you are. It\u2019s not how hard you work. It\u2019s about the strategy you use\u201d <\/strong>(Student Participant, Learning Well Project Focus Group)<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Who are the Learning Well resources aimed at?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our Learning Well Resources<\/a> have been created for all Imperial students<\/strong> \u2013 in any year group, any department, any faculty<\/strong>. They can enhance every student\u2019s learning experiences<\/strong>, whether you want to refine and strengthen your approaches to learning, you feel like you\u2019re struggling or you would simply like a bit of extra help.<\/p>\n

Learning well is about more than good grades \u2013 it\u2019s about how you can achieve in effective, efficient and sustainable ways.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The concept of \u2018learning well\u2019 is relevant to every student at Imperial. These materials can guide you to proactively explore practices and behaviours that support positive wellbeing alongside effective and efficient academic learning.<\/p>\n

Your approach to \u2018learning well\u2019 is uniquely yours \u2013 it\u2019s about finding what works for you so don\u2019t worry if this doesn\u2019t look the same as what others are doing. What\u2019s right for one person may not be right for you\u2026and that\u2019s okay! Our resources can help you consider practical steps you can take to craft your own path to \u2018learning well\u2019 here at Imperial.<\/p>\n

How were these resources developed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These materials were co-designed with Imperial students for Imperial students, with support from the university’s StudentShapers programme<\/a>. The research team<\/a> gathered empirical evidence from 33 focus groups, conducted with over 100 Imperial students, and used this data to foreground the lived experiences of your \u2018near peers\u2019 \u2013 those who study your subjects, in your faculties, at this university. The quotes you read illustrate the real experiences, reflections and associated learning of Imperial students, which means these materials are rooted in the realities of individuals who truly understand the Imperial context.<\/p>\n

How are they meant to be used?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
