“Don’t always assume you don’t know something … and don’t doubt yourself because most of the time you are smart enough and you have the capability to really learn anything. So you are only stopping yourself by thinking you can’t learn it.” ~ student advice
What do successful university students do to be successful?
Lots of research exists already on the barriers that many students face in getting into university, but not as much about how students manage to stay until graduation. This resource is intended to help students develop the skills and find the resources to help them to successfully graduate from university.
This resource is based on the research project Diversities of Resilience: Understanding the Strategies for Success Used by Underrepresented Students in Canadian Universities which was funded by a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant.
