Program And Academic Success Center

Sure, we all have that one parent that claims they know how to edit your paper, but oops they forget to spill the beans of how they could barely get above a B on papers themselves. The truth of the matter is writing is tough, and it does not come easy for everyone. For me, I struggle with grammar and just all the logistics that go into paper writing. However, there is a very big and bright light at the end of the tunnel for me. Yes, I will have to take more writing classes at Liberty University, but this time I will actually be able to get legitimate help. Thanks to Liberty University’s Undergraduate Writing Center, I will finally be able to get that writing help that I will need on my papers I will have to write. The writing center offers students the ability to sit down with a coach that will help them through what they are trying to accomplish on paper. Some of these coaching sessions can be in larger groups or can be requested to be one on one. Lessons on how to properly format MLA or APA will also be available at the writing center. For a student like me that does not exactly like writing, these resources will come in very handy. I truly believe that if I need help on a certain paper, then I will go there to make sure I get it. It is something that will give many students an edge over the tough papers that they will have to write as they make their way through

I would like to participate in the Immokalee Readers program to help young children reach their highest academic potential. It will help me to develop many college and career readiness skills. Being a tutor will help me to further my communication and collaboration skills; Communicating with the kids will help me to help them to meet their goals in school. The Immokalee Readers program will open up opportunities for me to start focusing on my pathway to success. I will be able to help a child develop basic study habits and homework strategies that he or she can use in higher education. By using a student’s strength to approach a strategy for their difficulties, it will help the student to feel less stressed about the subject. As a tutor I

As part of students IEP resource program and RtI services, I provide instruction for the development of written expression, as evidenced by my Professional Growth Experience #2. My methodology for writing instruction has evolved dramatically. Now I see each student as an individual somewhere on the path to independent “author.” I work to meet each student’s learning need at their level. Currently, students work at their own level and I provide individual or small group mini-lessons to support weaker skills. I learned from experience to create quality, high interest prompts that address a real audience to teach “voice.” My format support Common Core’s informative/explanatory writing standard and engages critical thinking and motivation. To

This chapter detailed the processes utilized to answer the main research question, “With what frequency and consistency do students and professors use the literacy support services available at River Community College?” In order to answer this question, I conducted an action research project involving the students, faculty, and the College Success and Retention Department at a community college in West Michigan. A triangulation matrix detailed how data was collected, which included: surveys to determine the knowledge and use of the literary support services available at the college, interviews with retention services personnel, archival data from Blackboard use, and archival data of student retention and success after contact through the Early Alert System. Additional artifacts were gathered from students who used my guided reading prompts and rubrics. The analysis of this information reflected the use of literacy services by the faculty of the college and the students in the my courses. The sub-questions that demonstrated how the literacy support was used included: what types of support and resources are available?, what knowledge do students and professors have of these supports?, what are the professor referral rates to the Early Alert System? and what are the barriers to professors’ and students’ effective use?

Some inner-city writing centers have hired tutors directly from their high school’s honors program. However, in other instances, hiring high school writing center tutors from across the academic spectrum may also prove beneficial. If a writing center hires a variety of students, it would not be the “good students” talking down to the “poorer students.” With a variety of high school tutors, those students being consulted may feel more of a connection to someone who is in an academically similar position, and if such a connection can be made, better communication can be

The event that I attended was hosted by the Academic Success & Tutoring Center (ASTC). It was a one hour program that was part of series to help new students ease into and survive their first semester at Stony Brook University. The particular topic that I decided to attend was Goals and Motivation. I have a hard time staying motivated and getting my work done. I always seem to wait until the last minute to do things and then I break down because I am so stressed out. I'm also having second thoughts on what I want to do in my life and how I am going to get there. Therefore I thought that this topic was particularly good for me and I think that it was actually quite helpful.

At Highline College, most classes require students to do approximately two hours of classwork outside of class for every hour that they spend in class. This work that they do outside of class doesn’t tend to be easy, and students often fall behind in their classes from struggling with it. To stop students from falling behind for that reason, the Highline College Tutoring Center was founded. The Highline College Tutoring Center provides academic support to students in all non-math-and-writing-classes that allows a diverse student body to succeed.

The purpose of this memo is to explain why a new educational/support program should be started for students at Wake Tech Community College. This program will help students to be more successful in college, as they learn coping mechanisms to deal with situations and stressors often faced by new college students. Such a program will cause an increase in students’ grades and a decrease in the drop-out and dismissal rates.

It’s a new year to be back on campus to see friends. A new year to look forward to events and classes, and another year of wading through library walk in the sea of new faces. Over 5,000 new freshmen faces and over 2,000 transfer faces to be exact. With many new students on campus, there are concerns about the university’s ability to accommodate these new students with current resources.

Peer-tutoring is a collaborative activity that allows the exchange of knowledge to occur outside of a classroom setting. As a peer tutor, I do my best to establish a safe space where students can share their writing insecurities and self-develop as writers. During my sessions, I focus on establishing a comfortable work environment to encourage meaningful dialogue and allow tutees to articulate their writing needs. By establishing a welcoming work environment, I can engage in meaningful discussion with tutees and familiarize myself with their writing so I can effectively implement a tutoring approach that suits their needs as writers. My tutoring philosophy mainly focuses on gaining familiarity with the tutees writing and personality through

I believe the Bridges to Success Summer program is a great opportunity for me and provides me with the chance to do what my parents never got to accomplish. They have always encouraged me to do my best in high school, so that one day I could go on to college and further my education in order to achieve my goals. I am certain that this program will guide me in the right direction and will help me to be successful. One of the biggest challenges in my life that I had to overcome was not having my dad around for the past 4 years. When I was 14 years old my dad was incarcerated. I really looked up to my dad. He was my biggest role model. At a younger age, my brother and I used to fight over who was most like him. During my early teenage years, my dad

On 10/10/16 Officer Brown was the guest speaker for the YMCA Teen Achievers program at the Seminole High School site. There Officer Brown spoke to students about what it is like to working in law enforcement and how citizens and police officers can have positive interactions with one another. Officer Brown’s commitment to educating the youth of our community is continuing in the departments effort to building stronger police and citizens relationships within our community.

While an undergraduate, I learned most not from classes or extracurriculars but from teaching students and editing their papers as a writing tutor—however unacademic or uncool that may sound. Working for Scribbr will, I imagine, allow me an even richer education than the one I received teaching in the Writing Center. Expanding upon and elaborating what I learned as a writing tutor, I want to help graduate students with their dissertations so I can again work across disciplines and push myself outside of my intellectual comfort zones. I want to again force myself to craft language that meets the rigorous specificity of good academic writing. I want to again challenge the workings of my own mind by inhabiting how others think, learn, investigate, and write. Tutoring more graduate students, in addition to undergraduates, would illuminate my curiosities and interests all the more, gifting me with a job more than rewarding.
