Intelligence alone is not enough to succeed in studies. The course “Study with Success” provides well adaptable self-management techniques that help to use the full learning capacity.

When students enter University, they are confronted with many new challenges, as they usually need to organize their learning activities and often their lives much more independently than before.
The course covers a wealth of practical information and hints that help organize one's daily work fruitfully. I find them useful for improving my own daily activities. The relaxed atmosphere of the lectures makes them highly valuable for the students at a delicate point in their life.

Students starting their studies at a university are embarking upon an experience that is rich in intellectual challenge and accompanied by major life-style adjustments. At such a time it is good to have some practical down-to-earth advice. In this respect "Study with Success" is very helpful.

I am very satisfied with what I have heard. Although I am lecturer, I had to struggle with my own time management until now. That stressed me again and again. This course helped me to organize my tasks better.

I am very thankful for this enriching course. I learned a lot, that I and my students will practice in the future: Learning techniques, setting priorities and all the other topics.

We often ask the students to use good work methods but without teaching them how to do it. What I have learned here helps me to offer them much needed techniques, that are practical and helpful.

• The course helped me to calm down. On the one hand, I realized that other students also struggle with the same problems that I do, and on the other hand, the hints I got helped me to start the new semester with confidence and fully motivated.

• My first week at the university was totally discouraging, but the course gave me new motivation.

• Very informative and I laughed a lot!

• It is a great idea to setting clear goals and reminding yourself constantly of them later on.

• I realized many things that I really need to change.

• I realized that I am already doing lots of things right in order to support and increase my learning abilities.

• All the essential questions for the student were asked and answered in a competent way.

• I really felt that you were honestly interested in making my life as a student easier. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

• Such kind instructors!

• The aspect of setting priorities was especially helpful to me.

• Everybody has both strengths and weaknesses to build on. The course gave me a huge pool of ideas to choose from in order to help me improve. Some techniques were new, things I had never thought of before, and other things I already do automatically.

• The small suggestions helped me the most. Sometimes it only takes a small adjustment to make a big difference. For example: organizing my papers, reading textbooks with the right focus, taking useful notes, establishing a regular work and study plan, taking time to relax and not wasting time on unimportant things.

• I'm really excited about studying at the university. Now I can get started with joy and enthusiasm using the new techniques I received from you. Thanks to the instructors who taught us so purposefully.

• You instructors made a very good impression on me. You were pleasant to listen to.

• The atmosphere during the course was very friendly and you held my full attention. Thanks!

• Very encouraging!

• It was good that you challenged us to put things into practice right away.

• A humorous and entertaining course presentation with a wide range of topics covered. One could feel your passion!

• The two days of the course were presented in a holistic and inclusive way. It was very realistic and applicable, very supportive and motivating.

• Overall I was very positively surprised how humorously and also sensitively the course was presented.

• I will certainly follow your advice about time management, including taking breaks!

• A good review of previously known concepts about good learning methods.

• I think it's good that the instructors shared about themselves. This makes the course more interesting, personal and varied. The jokes were very funny.

• The advice on test preparation, especially written exams was helpful. Learning in groups, a good idea.

• Super advice: exam preparation, note taking and getting enough sleep!
