Individual Assistance in Study Skills

Individual assistance in study skills is administered by ACE academic skills mentors, successful students who have been trained to help develop peer clients' learning skills. They meet one-on-one with their clients once or twice a week, maintaining a log of the objectives and outcomes of each session. consultants work with clients in areas such as time management, procrastination prevention, organizational skills, memory and concentration, note- and test-taking strategies, interpretation of texts, and exam preparation.

Supplemental Instruction (SI)

SI is offered in various courses in both the sciences and the humanities. SI consists of voluntary, small group sessions that are facilitated by an SI leader, a student whom the instructor deems knowledgeable of the course content and who has been trained in learning strategies appropriate to the discipline. The SI leader meets regularly with the instructor and attends the course frequently. In the study groups, students work together to integrate the course content with critical thinking strategies, thus promoting their academic development.
