Learning to learn

MSA learning skills advisor Karen Petrenko

Students at the Monash South Africa (MSA) campus can now access services and resources to support them in their study through the MSA library and learning commons.

The Learning Skills program is a service offered by Monash libraries to support the learning skills of students.

Advisors assist students to improve their learning skills by providing information on study methods and exam preparation, reading strategies, note-taking and essay writing, through workshops, classes and online tutorials.

The service integrates learning support with other support services available in or through the library such as development of information research skills and IT support.

MSA's new Learning Skills adviser Karen Petrenko recently visited the University's Australian campuses to see how the service operates.

She will work collectively with faculties, librarians and other services providers at MSA to develop services and programs for students.
