PERSONAL STUDY

 

Situation

Wouldn’t you love to develop your thinking and knowledge? But what with the demands of your job, further study just seems too difficult to fit in. You may not even feel that confident about your return to academic study. After all, there’s so much to read, reams of notes to take and, finally, there’s the dreaded writers’ block.

 

Solution 

Visual tools sort out your study problems by providing you with a method to organise your thinking. By making your thoughts visible you are able to display, probe and put them into order. Taking the pressure off doing this all in your head, releases mental energy for analysis and creativity.

 

Benefits 

When you study using visual tools you will find you are able to:

  • - Save time by organising a study plan
  • - Take concise and meaningful notes
  • - Pinpoint key concepts around which you can organise your writing plans
  • - Clarify your thinking for better writing
  • - Question effectively the texts you encounter
  • - Ensure nothing’s missed, irrelevant or avoided
  • - Bring together ideas from different sources
  • - Organise seminar presentations productively
  • - Optimise what you learn from fellow students
  • - Make connections between your learning and your job
