StudySMART
Study smarter through active and collaborative learning.
StudySMART
StudySMART* is a Lincoln University programme run by tauira leaders to help you achieve your educational goals. Weekly interactive sessions are attached to core first year courses and are facilitated by undergraduate student leaders who know the course material and what it takes to do well in that course. You get the chance to pick their brains and share your thoughts outside the formality of the lecture theatre.

StudySMART gives you the chance to:
- Discuss and share ideas in an informal space. During StudySMART sessions, leaders facilitate fun and interactive pair, group and whole class activities. You will develop your understanding of the subject and pick up new ways to study.
- Meet other tauira and have fun while studying. StudySMART helps you to support each other now while you are studying, but also to build professional networks for your future career.
- Achieve better grades. At Lincoln University, results consistently show that tauira who attend StudySMART regularly get better results on average than those who do not attend.
- Arrive at answers for yourself. StudySMART Leaders facilitate a better understanding of the subject and encourage you to arrive at answers for yourself. You will deepen your knowledge of your course content as you learn from and with each other.
- Be proactive, gain confidence and feel in control of your learning. These sessions will not only help you grow academically but also in confidence and as a person.
