Spring semester of 2017 has begun! Queue the sleepless nights spent in the library, six cups of coffee, and frustration with homework problems they did NOT teach you how to do in class.
It's going to be a long semester, but you can emerge on the other side with a GPA that will make all the effort worth it.
Auburn University does an incredible job of providing students with resources that will enable them to make an A in every class, from World History to Calculus III. The only thing standing between you and that impressive transcript is... you! Here is a list of available resources at our wonderful university!
Plainsmen's Prep
This is a review
session for upcoming freshman to prepare you for the rigors of college Calculus. It takes place a week before the start of fall semester.
Miller Writing Center
Do you have a tough
English class this semester? Maybe a ten-paged argumentative essay you need an A on? The Miller Writing Center is the perfect place to get individual feedback
on your assignments so that you can become aware of your weaknesses as writer
and revise your essays so they can relay your intended message clearly.
Study Partners
This program is a
one-on-one tutoring service that allows you to schedule an appointment with a
student who will guide you through a tough section you are having trouble with.
It is free tutoring provided by Auburn - Schedule your appointment today!
Supplemental Instruction
A key component of
most science courses, SI is an extra session held usually twice a week to
review the material you are learning in class. In depth review of the in-class
lectures helps you retain material, actually understand what you are learning
instead of memorizing information, and make better grades on tests. The leaders
of these sessions are former students of the class you are taking, so they know
better than anybody what is expected from you in order to make a great mark!
Personal Tutors
If you're still
needing more assistance, look into hiring a personal tutor. Many students post
flyers throughout campus and are more than willing to help you understand
material (at a small cost).
College is doubt a challenge, but your effort to seek out assistance will be rewarded. Good luck, and War Eagle!
