It's a scientific fact that good study habits lead to better grades in the classroom.
Research also shows good study habits produce better employees in the work place.
These are the goals that the Learning Assistance Center at Eastfield College is trying to implement to students who participated in the fourth annual Study Skills Seminar, Sept. 25-29. Learning Assistance Center Coordinator Theresa Sternat said that they have had workshops scattered throughout the year in previous seminars with mixed results. However, she decided this year to conduct the workshop earlier in the year to give the students the tools they needed to be successful in college and for the future. We decided to dedicate one week early in the semester for our workshops because when we held the seminars later in the semester the students wouldn't come with the pressure of finals. To be able to supply the learning skills these students need to be successful not only in school but out in the work force earlier in school year, will be very beneficial for them.
