Self-organization, efficient working are not actually taught. Neither is planning. Often you have voluntary courses on university work. But you do get pressured into either doing it or fail. The scientific method might be taught, but you don't have to get it. to succeed.
Often one learns systematic working and math. Somewhat scientific working, quoting right.
I think university teaches some things indirectly that are hard to explain explicitly and hard to become aware that they actually matter.
