9 Steps to Efficient Learning

You received an email from your niece, Kathleen who asks for some advice.

Dear Aunt Carol,
As you know, I have enrolled in a local college with the option of studying overseas.
Initially, I felt proud and confident. However, a fortnight later now, the euphoria
has lessened and now I’m in the grip of no confidence. Well-meaning friends have
pointed out that college learning is different from school learning and I should be
prepared for that. I feel the jitters as I know my limitations. I don’t do well when I have
to analyse or be creative.
Please advise. I don’t want to disappoint my parents.
Kathleen
