Learning Lab: Test Interval Learning to Increase Productivity

Are exams just around the corner? Have you already started studying or do you need an extra boost of motivation? Or are you generally finding it difficult to keep up with your studies?

Our new offer in the University Library (UB) gives you the opportunity to try out a new learning method together with other students, using your own learning material.

In this learning lab, you can try out a test run to see if this learning technique suits you, based on a task that you have set for your studies.

How does it work?
Interval learning involves dividing upcoming tasks into manageable work packages, which are then completed within a certain period of time,  and under certain conditions. The aim is to increase motivation to start learning, to work more effectively and to recognise progress, which provides further motivation...

Our offer introduces you to the method of interval learning and gives you the opportunity to try it out directly using a task that you have to complete for your studies. This takes place in the best learning environment – the university library. In addition, the concentrated working atmosphere invites you to work effectively.

What do you need to do?
Please select learning material and bring it with you to the event; e.g. the topic of a lecture that you would like to prepare for or follow up on.
