Students scheduling an appointment will choose from one of these options:
Study Skills
This option is for students who would like help in more than one area or for students who don't know which of the other options to choose. In most cases, students who choose this option will work with a peer mentor to determine which particular study skills they should develop.
Reading and Note-Taking
Students who choose this option will 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 who choose this option will 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 who choose this option will 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.
