INTEG 120 - The Art and Science of Learning

This course introduces students to cutting-edge scientific research on learning and cognition. We will discuss how to develop "smart" goals, reduce cognitive biases, cultivate a growth mindset, and improve self-regulation to become a more effective learner. These strategies are essential for maximizing your ability to learn effectively and efficiently, but they are not the whole story - you will also discover how your physical health, mental well-being, and social connections affect your ability to learn, remember, create, and problem-solve. By taking this course, you will develop sought-after skills such as critical thinking, create a personalized learning strategy that benefits you personally and professionally, and learn how to thrive in university, both inside and outside the classroom.
