Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Studying mathematics at university is very challenging, specially since it is very different from high-school and students do not know how to study.
This course is a mixture of learning strategies, experiences from previous students, tips to tackle anxiety, and it even contains some references to personal growth.
It is mostly aimed at STEOP students (from both the scientific and Lehramt branches), but it can benefit students of any year.

The course is completely asynchronous: the materials (videos and text) can be explored at any time. Though there will be some follow-up material as the semester progresses depending on feedback (if you want to receive notifications, join the course on Moodle). There will be some in-person sessions to answer questions and maybe do a mock exam.

Content
1. Mathematics at University: everything is different (video and reading of a personal experience).
2. Basic management
2.1 Time and energy: basic management - video
2.2 Intelligence (and how to increase it or decrease it).
2.3 Mathematical etiquette
3. How to learn maths
3.1 Theory class: how-to
3.2 Reading maths
3.3 Solving exercises
3.4 Writing maths
4. Stress in oral presentations - video
5. Falling behind: the moment of panic
