Welcome to Episode 3 of ULearning! We are joined by Professor Robert Gazale to talk about the challenges students face when reaching out to professors and how to bounce back after midterms. We want to demystify common assumptions and help students feel more confident in taking charge of their university learning experience. Professors are human too—and with a bit of confidence and preparation, you may find that reaching out can positively transform the way you navigate university learning.
