The
College Study Skills and Reading Center is used mostly,
but not exclusively, by students taking College Study Skills,
Preparatory Reading and Writing, and College Reading.
In tutor
room (112K), students receive one-on-one attention to acquire
college-level reading and study skills. Reading topics can
include comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking
as well as other related skills. Organization, time management,
taking notes, reading textbooks, learning terms, improving
memory, using learning styles, setting goals, solving problems,
managing stress, test-taking, and developing study techniques
are study skills topics that tutors can address when helping
students develop more effective and efficient study habits.
Tutors can also provide assistance in most academic subjects
and help students improve their test scores in any course
with a test review.
In the
lab (112L), students work independently, at their own pace
in a non-stressful environment to improve the same reading
and study skills that tutors address. With student input,
individualized programs are designed and developed according
to a student's needs and abilities. Pre and post-assessments
of reading, study skills and spelling are used to measure
performance and improvement.
All
services are free of charge and available by appointment
or walk-in.
