Abstract: In earlier blogs [1,2] for the Staff and Education Development Association (SEDA), a forum, based in the UK but that aims to support all educators in higher education, I commented on some of my research findings on successful student coping. My earlier research had pointed to the value of student conscientiousness and of developing context control or mastering the skills needed in higher education. For students, this includes honing one’s time management, searching efficiently for relevant material, finding easy ways into study material (through selected websites and podcasts), using generative AI strategically and learning to precise key points in class and when studying independently. Successful students have study buddies too - others they can share course specific issues with and bounce ideas off.
