Academic Success

This week and last week, our focus in M100 has been academic success.  Angel, a representative from the university counseling center, visited class to discuss strategies for managing stress, time, and academic demands.  She also told students about the various resources offered at the center including personal counseling and workshops on study skills, test-taking, and procrastination.

Today, Ms. Edward will lead the students in exercises to help them better understand their learning styles and, more importantly, how to cope when professors teach in a manner that is not compatible with their individual preferences.

The students have already begun having exams in their courses, and midterms are right around the corner.  Now would be a great time for mentors to check in with their students to see how everything is going academically.
