Workshop Title
Professors are From Mars,
Students Are From Venus:
Understanding
Your Professors' Expectations
Back to The
Top
Professors' expectations of students are often
times different from those students have of themselves. These
differing expectations can result in low academic performance. Professors
Are From Mars, Students Are From Venus helps make these
expectations plain, so that students may better meet their academic
challenges. Attendees will leave this workshop
with a better understand of collegiate learning expectations.

Reading
Strategies That Make Sense
Back to The
Top
Do
you have a difficult time deciding what is important from the
textbook? Do you find yourself getting bored as you read, only to
realize that, at the end of your reading, you have no clue what you
read? Textbook Mapping helps students get a better handle on
comprehending college textbooks by helping them use the "map"
contained within each textbook. Attendees will leave this workshop
knowing how to use the textbook's "map" to locate the important
material.
Workshop
Title
Taking
Good Notes:
Effective
Note Taking Techniques
Back to The
Top
Note taking is perhaps the most
crucial skill necessary to succeed in college. The ability to discern the important
information from a class lecture or textbook and translate it into your own
words does not come natural. Yet,
few students have been taught this skill!
Taking Good
Notes helps students improve their
note-taking skills and techniques.
Workshop Title
Surviving the Mid-Term
Crunch:
Survival Tips for Mid-Term Exam Success
Back to The
Top
The
semester is about halfway over and mid-terms are right around the
corner. This workshop provides study tips that will help
students survive the mid-term crunch.
Workshop Title
The "Secret" to
College Success:
How to Increase Your Academic Success
Back to The
Top
While
there are no secret formulas that will guarantee students success in
college, there are "secret" strategies and techniques that make
success more likely. The "Secret" to College Success
helps students understand how to better operate within the collegiate
structure to increase their academic performance.
Workshop Title
Packing Your Suitcase for
College:
How
to Manage Your Time
Back to The
Top
Each day we are blessed with a
“suitcase” containing 86,400 seconds, 1,440 minutes and 24 hours. However, students have grown accustomed
to packing their suitcase a certain way.
And often times, that way is not conducive for college. In order to be
successful in college, students must learn to reorganize their suitcase, so that the
same things – fun, work, school, and studying fit within the collegiate
schedule. Packing Your Suitcase for College helps students
adjust their schedule so that they have time for the things they want
and need to do.
Workshop Title
Sink
or Swim:
Survival
Tips for Final Exam Success
Back to The
Top
The
2005 fall semester is almost in the books, but you have one more chance to improve
your grade, before the books are closed. Sink or Swim provides survival tips to finish the semester strong.
