LD1015 Learn to learn mathematics 2.0 credits

Administer About course

Mathematics is a crucial subject in many educational programs. Being well-prepared in mathematics provides the opportunity to engage in effective and quality higher education studies, and to avoid getting unnecessarily stuck. In this course, you will have the chance to discover how you can learn mathematics based on your own conditions and on modern models for learning, practical examples, and understanding of how the brain functions. You will also have the opportunity to explore learning through conversations with AI.

The course aims to prepare you for further studies and to develop skills and abilities in understanding, analyzing, planning, and implementing study strategies, as well as the ability to communicate in ways that can enhance your own learning in mathematics.
