Strategies

Strategies for Success is a course designed
to improve student performance in college and beyond. The
two credit hour elective course will count toward graduation
from Lake Land College and will transfer to most four-year
colleges. The course involves a variety of learning experiences
including group discussion, guest speakers, lecture, individual
appointments with the instructor, videos, and use of the computer-assisted
career guidance system - Career Cruising.
Topics to be discussed include:
- time management/stress management
- test-taking, note-taking, reading, and
writing strategies
- memory enhancement
- how to study with children underfoot
- communication and relationships
- decision making
- learning styles
- career exploration and planning
Here is what former Strategies for
Success students have told us about the course:
- This class has given me ideas
on how to conquer tests, assignments and pressure situations
for every class. It also goes outside the classroom to the
real world.
- I have learned to manage my time
better.
- This class makes learning fun.
- It has really helped to boost
my self-confidence.
- This is the only class I have
ever taken where I have immediately started using the material
in real life - not just school.
- I suggest that everyone take
this class.
- It has made a difference
in my grades
