The expectations put on you as a student change significantly from high school to college. As college students, you are responsible for your own academic achievement. For example, instructors no longer remind you when assignments are due or allow you to turn in late assignments without penalty; you must read and understand volumes of text; your instructors want you to grasp concepts they only cover once in lecture; papers must be research based and resources must be cited correctly throughout; and you must properly prepare for and master various types of tests. If you need help managing these new challenges, the Learning Resource Center has a program designed to do just that!
Our Academic Skills Development program can assist you in fostering the five characteristics and proficiencies that all successful college students posses:
- Time Management
- Reading Comprehension
- Note Taking
- Academic Integrity
- Test Taking
