Study Skills Help
The Learning Center has researched several Study Skills Sites that could be
helpful to you. Below you will find links to these sights, ranging from critical
thinking to memory techniques, note taking, test taking, and time management.
Also we have developed a short Study Skills Seminar that can be worked on online in any order you prefer. In our Learning and Learning Resource Centers, we have handouts on outlining tips. Our trained peer tutors can also give you tips on how to study for a particular subject. In addition, if you really need help with study skills you should ask a counselor about the Student Success Course offered each semester. Several times each semester, there are classroom sessions on various topics at Q-time. These are free and are sponsored by the ACT 101 Department. For more information, please call Gladys Ramirez-Wrease at (610)359-5077.
