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.
