Title: HELPING STUDENTS DO BETTER ACADEMIC WORK
Description: Our institutions work diligently to attract students who can succeed. But when these students don’t do well, how exactly to assist them can be unclear. While helping students do better academic work can take many shapes and forms, such as tutoring, SI, coaching and so forth, the overall goal should be to help students improve the quality of contributions to their academic work. This workshop will help participants accomplish this by sharing instantly usable tools and methods that can help any student work better, faster and with greater reward.
