Get the Most Out of Studying: Video Series
March 2, 2012
We have added a section to our website on How to Get the most Out of Studying. This is a 5-part video series developed by Dr. Stephen Chew at Samford University.
Video topics include:
- Beliefs That Make You Succeed
- How People Learn
- Principles for Optimizing Learning
- Putting the Principles into Practice
- I Blew the Exam... Now What?
This is a useful resource to students as they define or redefine their approach to studying at the college level.
Campus GPA Calculator
February 21, 2012
Our campus has developed a GPA calculator that is now available to all students.
This is a great resource for estimating and predicting a future GPA.
