POMEST

e-Campus University aims to grant all its students with effective support for their study method. To this end, eCampus University has set up a free Study Method Support Service (POMEST)for students who experience difficulties in passing a single exam or encounter generalised difficulties in organising and managing their studies.
 

The POMEST Service

eCampus University has set up the POMEST Service with the purpose of intervening in cases of difficulties sustained during the university career due to problems related to study method and organisation.

The service is available to students in the following situations:

  • students enrolled in their first year, newly enrolled (with recognition of previously acquired CFUs) or already attending Courses of Study;

  • students in possession of a specific deliberation from CABES;

  • students who have not passed the entrance test, and have to carry out the OFA pathway;

  • students who have not taken or completed exams for more than two consecutive sessions;

  • students who had to repeat the same exam two or more times without a positive outcome;

  • students who have resumed their studies after a prolonged interruption;

  • students who have encountered difficulties due to personal problems entailing non-countinuous study times and/or organizational issues;

  • students enrolled in a Master's Degree, who do not come from the Bachelor's Degree Course in line with their course of study.

DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSES OF THE POMEST SERVICE

The POMEST service is carried out online and in presence at the Novedrate headquarters, with interventions aimed at the support and development of the study method. In the event that, even during the course of the intervention, the students'difficulties can be traced back to a psycho-social distress impacting on their university career, the students will be advised to contact the Counselling Service or a local service in their place of origin.

The interventions provided by the POMEST Service consist in a orientation interview during which an expert carries out an assessment of the situations by administering a specific questionnaire related to strategies, cognitive styles, approach and beliefs about studying and motivation and anxiety factors. Depending on the actual difficulties detected, a series of meetings is held, preferably in small groups, initially on a weekly or fortnightly basis, for a total duration of approximately 3-5 months, even considering a meeting at a later date than the conclusion of the course, to verify the maintenance of the results achieved.

 

METHODOLOGY

During the first interview and at the end of the service delivery, the staff of the university will provide a questionnaire to assess the characteristics of the study method and strategies used, respectively, and, at the end, the impact of the intervention.
