Study Skills
There is arguably no single skill as important to your academic success as Study Skills. This workshop introduces you to the techniques crucial to excellence in all disciplines: note taking, time management, reading strategies, organized review for tests, and strategies for taking different kinds of tests, to name a few.

This workshop helps you learn how to schedule your time more efficiently, to store information in long-term memory, and to develop habits that will serve you for the rest of your life, both in academia and beyond

As you acquire the skills offered in the class, you have the opportunity to put these techniques into practice in your other academic courses and in all Prep for Success courses. Teachers reinforce these study skills so that theory quickly turns into practice in the classroom.

Supervised Study Hall
During the supervised study hall, you apply the study skills you have learned to your courses of study. Faculty members assist you with homework, monitor your progress and help you focus on your goals and success.

The supervised study hall is designed to provide you with an opportunity for individual study and instructor support. This session enables you to work on assignments in an environment that helps you improve your time management, reading and mathematical comprehension, written expression, note taking and test preparation.

 
  Computers are available for use in all courses as problem-solving tools, as a means of gaining access to and classifying information and as a resource for writing. You are encouraged to bring your own computer so that it can be connected to Cushing’s campuswide network.
