Study Skills

The ASC faculty and staff will work with students on a number of academic success strategies, including but not limited to:

  • learning styles
  • time management
  • notetaking
  • reading textbooks
  • test preparation

Resources:

  • College Study Strategies course: a three-credit course that covers a variety of academic success strategies. The course is listed in the catalog as I&L (Instruction & Learning) 0005.
  • Individual assistance: students can work one-on-one with ASC staff on strategies and academic success.
  • On-line resources: we can provide students with the Learning and Student Strategies Inventory (LASSI), which can help students assess their academic strengths and needs areas. From there, the staff and student can generate a plan to help the student achieve success.
