Over Reading Week I attended an Academic Success workshop on Imposter Syndrome titled \u201cLearning from Failure and Challenge\u201d. This is one of a group of workshops in U of T Student Life\u2019s \u201cLearning How to Learn\"<\/a> series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Academic Success workshops are open to all students and are meant to help with the struggles that U of T students experience over the school year. These workshops address issues such as stress, procrastination, failure, and habits for staying healthy and happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each workshop begins with a One Good Minute exercise which is meant to help us think compassionately about ourselves. The session I attended took three minutes for this exercise and it felt like a little meditation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the session on imposter syndrome and learning from failure the hosts identified what causes imposter syndrome and how it can be dealt with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
