Hi,

I'm currently studying with NUI Maynooth and am doing some work looking at the support given to students with regards to study skills.

I'm hoping you can give me some feedback on your experiences. In particular I'd be interested to hear -

1. How would you describe your study skills? ie your ability to organise your studies, motivate yourself, take notes, memory techniques, note taking techniques, prepare for exams.

2. Did you get any help to develop your study skills? If you did get help , what type of help was it ? Was it a course? research tips on the internet? Book? Informal help from friends, family teachers?

3. What support would you have liked to have got?

4. Have you heard of the technique of mind mapping? Have you used this technique? How useful have you found it with your studies?

I'm in the process of designing a questionnaire to capture replies but would appreciate any feedback you can give me on this thread or via pm. If you had time to answer any or all of the above questions I'd much appreciate it!

Thanks so much in advance for your help.
