"Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills are the skills that help anyone to learn. Before you are able to learn, you need to develop an awareness of yourself as a learner. For example:

Are you able to work well with others, but find it difficult to get started when working alone?
Do you enjoy research, and are you good at communicating what you have found in a way that makes it clear to others?

This [class] will help you to improve your skills in these and other ATL areas."
