Connect your students with a learning specialist who can support them in developing more effective strategies for time and project management, academic reading and writing, note-taking, problem-solving, exam preparation, test-taking, and self-regulation. You may decide to refer a student when they tell you that they:
- are having a hard time juggling classes, work, social activities, and other responsibilities.
- “study all the time” but still are not performing well in their classes.
- cannot keep up with their reading.
- have always done well academically but now find themselves struggling.
- do not know how to take effective notes.
- feel too intimidated to participate in class or are not sure how to contribute.
- are unfamiliar with appropriate citation and use of sources.
- do not know how to start a research project or assignment.
- are overwhelmed by the amount of work they need to do.
- feel unfocused, unmotivated, or unproductive.
