For students fresh out of midterms, the study skills seminar Oct. 26 was a potentially beneficial resource.
The Epsilon Kappa Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. hosted the event. Coordinator of the Turning Point Retention Program Pam Miller spoke at the seminar.
Miller discussed resources Bradley students have available such as tutoring, the Center for Learning Assistance and online academic resources.
“You’ve got to do things differently and take advantage of resources on Bradley’s campus,” Miller said.
The seminar covered time management skills, learning styles, preparing for tests and other preparation strategies.
President of the Epsilon Kappa Chapter Rasheed Habler said he hopes there will be an even bigger turn out at next year’s seminar.
“The goal of the midterm presentation is to encourage students that it is not too late to turn things around academically,” Habler said. “By applying some key study strategies and time management techniques, along with a renewed motivation and determination, you can achieve your academic goals.”
Miller also gave students tips on how to take tests and balance their schedules, while encouraging them to finish the semester strong.
“For someone who struggles with ADHD, the organizational preparation skills the seminar offered were invaluable to my college success,” senior English secondary education major Travis Cazel said.
Miller said students should take advantage of all of their resources at Bradley, reminding students that they receive two free hours of tutoring per week. Miller said she believes 90 percent of success in college is due to good time management.
Students looking to refresh their study skills can still sign up for AEP 115-D, a study skills course.
