We can provide classroom presentations and training workshops on time management, reading textbooks, note taking, test taking and other learning strategies. Learning Services staff members are also available to meet one-on-one either in-person or virtually with any student for an individual assessment, and to teach any specific study strategies or academic skills that may be needed. We teach specific study techniques using actual notes, assignments, and textbooks from the classes in which you are enrolled.
