Move from recall to evaluation
Practise identifying an author’s claim, evidence, assumptions and missing information. Ask what evidence would change the conclusion and distinguish correlation from causation.
Build academic independence
Plan work backwards from deadlines, separate note-taking from source text, record citations as you research and seek clarification before uncertainty becomes a missed submission.
Respond to feedback
Translate feedback into a specific next action, apply it to a new problem and check whether the change improved the result. Learning agility is demonstrated through correction, not through never making mistakes.
