One on One Consultations
One of the most effective (and free!) services we offer has been the chance to sign up for a one-on-one study skills consultation with Cama Duke, Director, Learning Skills Services. In our meetings, you have a chance to describe the goals you want to reach, and we can go over strategies to help you reach them. After an initial consultation, students may be interested in signing up for a weekly appointment with a General Tutor who can touch base with them each week to help them reach goals in terms of time management, discuss study strategies, etc.
Here are some of the topics we have worked with in the past:
- appalnet awareness
- general study skills (overview)
- note-taking methods
- time management
- active study methods
- reading comprehension
- speed reading
- test-taking skills
- stress management
- organizational skills
- concentration
- fighting procrastination & motivation
- problem-solving tips
- writing, research and speaking tips
- working with a professor
- how to best use tutorial services
- GRE study plans
- tips on using a PDA or Tablet PC as a study tool
We may also be able to give you some tips related to success in specific subjects.
To arrange an appointment, contact the Learning Skills Services office at 828-262-3044 or email Cama Duke at dukecj[at]appstate[dot]edu
These services are offered at no cost to Appalachian students.
