Writing assignments and studying for exams
in university may seem challenging, especially in your first year. However,
there are different resources on campus you can use to assist you.
The
Academic Advising and Career Centre: The Academic
Advising and Career Centre have many services to help you academically. For
instance, they offer many tip sheets on common issues students have, such as
procrastination, concentration and note-taking. Students can also have one-on-one
conversations with Academic and Learning Strategists regarding study skills,
programs and courses.
Peer
Academic Coaches at the Department of Student Life:
Peer Academic Coaches are upper year students who work with the Department of
Student Life to provide you with advice regarding effective study habits and
assistance with their courses. You will be paired with coaches of the same
discipline (i.e. management, arts and science) and you communicate with your coaches
on a weekly basis. The benefit of having a Peer Academic Coach is that you can
connect with someone in your discipline and hear what they felt about first
year, what they did and didn't do well and things they wished they did in first
year.
The
Writing Centre: The Writing Centre can assist you
with your written assignments during appointments and during drop-in hours. The
Writing Centre also offers writing workshops on essay-writing, lab reports and
grammar.
Math
& Stats Learning Centre: Personally, I have
always struggled with math. If you are like me, then the Math & Stats
Learning Centre is a perfect place to go for math help! The Math and Stats Help
Centre is located in AC312 and the Math Aid Room is in IC404. The difference
between the Math & Stats Learning Centre and the Math Aid Centre is that
the Math & Stats Learning Centre helps all students whereas the Math Aid
Centre usually helps students who taking math courses.
Studying in university can be difficult but
with assistance, you can definitely succeed in your courses!
Until next time,
