The course helps students to understand how their memories are functioning, and hence, which are the scientifically-proved most relevant learning methods. It deconstructs neuromyths, determines each student’s learning profile and strategy, informs about the stereotype threat and the implicit bias, with their possible consequences on taking decisions. It helps in managing stress and raises awareness to mindfulness and well-being positive effects.
It will be in English and there will be displayed slides with a limited number of English words, mostly images or drawings, with embedded experiments and interactive (Wooclap) sessions.

This program corresponds to an improvement of a "Methodology of work at the University" (MTU) course existing at Aix-Marseille université, thanks to experts in the Sapienza Università di Roma, the Université libre de Bruxelles, and the University of Glasgow. It is designed for scientific students entering the university (L1), but it is not restricted to them.
BULE is a "student efficient learning toolkit" available, for free, synchronously, online, as a pre-school program from 29 August until 9 September 2022.
