Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore ...

The transition from high school to college can make you feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz: lost, confused and very far from home. Your first year involves a whirlwind of expectations, experiences, freedoms and responsibilities. But, just as easy as clicking your ruby slippers together, you can learn how to cope, manage and succeed in this new environment with the help of our survival tips for first-year students. (Transition from high school to college)

Time of your life, eh kid?

Managing your time can be risky business. We all have the same amount of time in a day, but how we allocate it can make the difference between "I'm 3 hours late to the exam," versus "I've got plenty of time for that." In this workshop, we'll show you how to better use your time for school, leisure, and work. Learn how to manage your time to make the most out of every minute of your day. And, find a balance between work and play. (Time Management)

I want the truth. You can't handle the truth.

Studying shouldn't feel like basic training yet sometimes it seems like it would take a few good men to get it done. That's because "studying" is not a single act. It's a collection of skills that include summarizing, organizing, rehearsing, and self-testing. This program helps you learn about the steps of the study cycle, and discover how to engage in meaningful, active learning to achieve the results you want in class. You will learn to study in a more efficient and effective manner. (Study skills)

I only have a 10 second memory ...

Remembering your EID is easy, calculus on the other hand - not so much. And some days you can't even remember what you just heard in lecture. Fortunately, memory can be strengthened and developed. This program helps you learn how to improve your memory so that the formulas from physics are as easy to remember as the delivery number for Mr. Gatti's pizza. Techniques including previewing, reviewing, chunking, associating, and encoding will be demonstrated and practiced. (Memory)

"I think I can, I think I can ..."

Succeeding in college can sometimes seem like an uphill climb and make you feel like the little engine that can't. So, what motivates you to continue? Parents, friends, personal goals? This workshop describes the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, and helps you to explore what factors motivate your own academic pursuits. Techniques for enhancing motivation are discussed and we'll help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. (Motivation)

Why do today what I can put off until tomorrow?

Have you ever noticed that when you begin to study you suddenly become aware of how messy your room is, how hungry you are, or how much your sock drawer needs to be organized? It's called procrastinating and we all do it from time to time. This program will help you understand some reasons why we procrastinate and discover ways to overcome the habit of putting things off. You will learn how to self-regulate your learning and motivate yourself to work in a more efficient and effective manner. (Procrastination)

Anyone ... anyone ... Bueller ... Bueller ...

Ever find yourself checking facebook when you should be taking notes? Or, you're actually paying attention but have no idea what the professor is talking about. How can you get the most out of lectures? In this workshop, you'll learn how to improve listening techniques, and to record what you hear. Different note-taking formats are compared, including running text and formal outline ? with special attention given to the Cornell system. (Listening and note-taking)

This is only a Test. Had this been a real emergency ...

Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, mid-terms? It can feel like test preparation or test taking can constitute a natural disaster, but it doesn't have to. Good test performance depends on effective preparation. Our Peer Educators will teach you how to prepare for and take different types of tests: essay, objective, and problem-solving. You will also practice techniques for easing test anxiety, and discover the value of post-test analysis. (Test preparation and test taking)
