Workshops

Tutoring Services offers a variety of workshops which support students through their academic journey. These workshops will be offered both as standalone events and can be scheduled by faculty or staff for a specific class or event. Email enelson@csum.edu for more information and to schedule a workshop. 

 

UPDATE: We will no longer be offering stand-alone workshops. If you are interested in hosting a workshop for your class, department, or club, please reach out! 

(This isn't just for professors. Students, you can even request that I come to your study group if you want!) 

 

Time Management and Goal Setting

In this workshop students can learn practical skills to set both long-term and short-term goals, and then translate those goals into manageable schedules for the year, month, and week. This workshop also includes tips and tricks for time management to make the most of your scheduled study time. Great for the beginning of the semester when you are planning out your classes!

 

Learning Styles

This workshop will help students discover how they learn best. Learning styles can be very useful in determining the best studying and note-taking techniques for each individual person. This workshop will also give tools to develop the learning styles that don't come as easily.  

 

Study Skills

In this workshop students will develop concrete study skills that can apply to any subject and material. While students will be taught a range of specific study methods, the workshop hinges on the difference between active and passive learning. Once students understand the difference, they will be able to adapt any study method into an active, and thus more effective, format. 

 

Test Anxiety 

This workshop gets honest about test anxiety. Why do we have it? What are some pre-, during- and post-test strategies students can use? We will also explore what students' individaul anxiety triggers are, and come up with workable strategies for dealing with them. You can't start to do better on those tests if you can't talk about it, and this workshop is a good place to start.
