Tailored to the freshman curriculum, the workshop, through weekly classroom instruction, provides students with the opportunity to develop the learning skills essential for academic success in college. In addition to receiving classroom instruction, participants are placed in groups of eight and assigned to an upperclassman for the semester. This upperclassman serves as a peer tutor, supplementing classroom instruction with small group and individual assistance designed to help the incoming student make a smooth transition to academic life at Saint Anselm. How it Works Participants in the workshop are introduced to strategies for successful study. Skills are developed through the application of the strategies to actual class materials, such as lecture notes and readings from texts.
Individual assistance is also available as needed.
