[Active learning](https://learningessentials.auckland.ac.nz/key-study-skills/active-learning/)

The way that you engage with course content matters. Actively engaging in your learning is more powerful than passively receiving information.

[Reflection and introspection](https://learningessentials.auckland.ac.nz/key-study-skills/reflection-and-introspection/)

Effective learning comes not from doing, but from actively reflecting and thinking about what you do.
