Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend so far. The weekend could never last long enough J. Well as you all know, chemistry has been a struggle for me and despite small improvements, I have been looking for other methods of to try and help me grasp the material better. Every week we do a chapter and homework online. I decided to take a look at my homework and see if I could get started. I took one look and thought ‘I can’t do this homework by myself’. I was sitting with one of my sisters and she told me to check out the tutoring center in the library. I was very skeptical about it because I wasn’t sure if they would be able to give me the help I needed. I thought ‘why not I have nothing to lose’.
After talking to my sister I headed up and entered the tutoring center. It took only two minutes to sign up for it and I was in. The room was pretty big and I just took a seat next to a group of students who were actually doing the same home work. I spent two hours learning from everyone and was able to get all of my work done. When we all got stuck on a problem, there were students with higher levels of knowledge in chemistry and graduate students there to explain every step. Not only did I get help but I was also able to understand the chapter. Now that I understand, I will be able to study for the and do well.
I found that campus resources can really be of help if you take the initiative to check them out. If your professor’s office hours are not convenient for you, there might be a tutoring session that will really benefit you. The more resources you use, the better you will understand the information. Take it from me! I hope you all enjoyed this little piece of information, GO BULLS!
Thats really encouraging. I definitely want to check out the tutoring center, they could probably help me a lot! I completely agree with how we have a ton of resources at our fingertips! As corny as it was, we did a project in my University Experience class where we were split into groups that were assigned to different resources around campus. After all of the presentations, I was blown away by all the the things that are not only offered to USF students, but are also offered for FREE. I was pretty stoked to learn about all the different resources that I definitely need to start taking advantage of!
ReplyDeleteHey Iman, yea i was looking into the tutroing center myself, and was not to sure if i should sign up for it or not. But this makes me feel like i should sign up and get some help for some of my classes. it seems like it works! thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello Iman, I also used the tutoring center before, for my college algebra class and it proved to be helpful. This is a good and helpful topic that we should take advantage of, not let the free tutoring go to waste (if you need it).
