When students feel that they are falling behind or have not performed well on an assessment, they should schedule time to receive academic help using the options listed below. However, students should not simply show up for tutoring. They must be prepared in order to see the benefits of receiving help. To prepare, students should…
-
Make a list of topics to discuss during your help session. This could include highlighting a portion of your class notes that you did not understand.
-
Request to review a previous test. Make corrections to ensure you understand your mistakes.
-
Bring your homework to review and/or complete.
