STUDY
& TEST-TAKING SKILLS
You
can develop academic skills by working regularly with a tutor on your
coursework. With tutoring at the LAC, you can
learn about different study skills and practice them with a tutor: time
management, setting up study schedules, organizational strategies,
lecture note-taking, test-taking
and test-preparation skills.
If
you are an undergraduate student and need to complete the Library
Requirement (OASIS), you can find more information here.
There
are also many opportunities to brush up on your skills and learn new
skills by attending short workshops, consulting
study skills materials, or taking courses.
In
addition, there are specific test-preparation workshops
for EPT, ELM and JEPET.
Check
the links provided to the seven programs described below for workshop
schedules and descriptions.
