What is College Learning Skills and How Does it Work?

College Learning Skills is a one-hour learning support course open to all students. You and your instructor meet in 30-minute conferences to discuss and evaluate your learning skills. You will then use the resources in the Communications Lab, J122, and the online Learning Center to improve your skills.

What Skills Can I Work On?

The following are examples of the kinds of skills you might work on in CLS:

• improving your textbook reading skills – understanding and remembering what you read;
• improving your test preparation and test taking skills – multiple choice and essay;
• reducing test anxiety;
• improving your English 1301 grade – we can provide writing support while you take the class;
• developing a plan for a research paper;
• getting ready to take or retake the TASP Reading and Writing tests;
• understanding what it takes to learn and your own particular learning style;
• improving your grade in Psychology, Biology, History; or
• any skill which could help you do better in your course work!
