Are you having trouble in a class?

At the first signs of trouble in a class, get help!

Here are some early suggestions:

• In class, don't be afraid to ask questions and say, "I don't understand."
• Ask classmates if they would be interested in setting up some type of study group.
• Contact your instructor during office hours and ask
  • for clarification on points you don't understand.
  • for tips on how to learn the material.
  • what to focus on for tests.
  • if there are additional study guides/materials you could use for extra practice.
  • if there are any study groups formed by students in your class or other sections of the course.
  • Besides getting the help you need, this contact shows your instructor that you are interested in the course and want to succeed.
• Explore what kinds of general tutoring services you have on your campus. Your Accommodation Specialist can give you more information.
