Students scheduling a study skills appointment can expect to work on the following:
Reading and Note-Taking
Students might work with a mentor on strategies for effective reading and note-taking, including but not limited to effective surface reading (or "previewing"), active reading and listening, annotating a text, and paraphrasing.
Testing Strategies
Students might work with a mentor on such topics as dealing with test anxiety, developing an effective study routine, growth mindset, moving beyond memorization for deeper learning, and self-testing (or "retrieval").
Time Management
Students might work with a mentor on developing a manageable weekly schedule, setting realistic goals, and combating procrastination, among other important time management habits. Recurring appointments are encouraged.
