Learning Support Sessions are available to any Carleton student who is looking to develop skills that can help them achieve academic success. Learning Support Sessions is a person-centred service focused on fostering effective learning strategies. Each session with a Peer Learning Assistant (PLA) is unique and focused on the individual’s specific strengths and challenges.
PLAs will help students to identify areas of growth, set goals, and create an individualized plan to achieve success. PLAs are trained to share effective strategies with students that they can use in any course at any level. Common session topics include:
- Time Management
- Managing procrastination
- Academic Reading
- Note-Taking
- Memory and concentration
- Exam Preparation
