Workshops


I appreciated the personable and hands-on approach that was presented. Students commented they found it very helpful and they learned strategies they will actually use.

Center staff often reach out to conduct training, presentations, and workshops for academic classes, peer mentors and advisors, student groups such as sororities/fraternities, residence halls and residence life staff, teaching assistants, faculty, and staff. Staff works carefully to develop the workshop or presentation to meet the specific needs of the group and involve the participants in active learning.

Following is a partial list of workshop topics Center staff have presented:

  • Active learning strategies (for teaching assistants, tutors, peer mentors, faculty)
  • Effective tutoring and mentoring techniques
  • Learning styles and teaching/learning strategies
  • Test taking strategies
  • Test preparation: general strategies and creating study guides
  • Note taking strategies
  • Time management
  • Managing test anxiety

We request that groups contact the Center two weeks prior to when a workshop is wanted.
