Campus Resources
Juggling several classes and having a
busy schedule can sometimes cause students forget just how many resources there
really is on campus. Here at the University of Arizona, the teachers and staff provide
many opportunities for extra help many of us often need. Here is a list of some
of the resources I have found very helpful through experience:
1. Every
teacher and TA has office hours! I can’t think of a better way to get help than
to sit down one on one with a professor to ask all of the questions you may
have. Take advantage of this opportunity because having this face to face,
personal meeting can really help you understand the material and allows you to
really get a better understanding of the material. If you can’t make it to
their office hours, email your professor and/or TA and schedule an appointment
with them.
2. Review
sessions. Before exams, many teachers put on review sessions to go over the
material that will be on your test. Go to every review session, teachers often
times give hints as to what will be on the exam!
3. Think
Tank is yet another awesome resource to take advantage of. From Science to Math
to English, the Think Tank provides free tutoring to any students who are in
need of help. This center offers a variety of different things from one on one
tutoring to review sessions, etc. I would definitely recommend visiting the
Think Tank because of its extremely helpful, free offerings.
4. Lastly,
there is the SALT Center. Although it is not a free resource, it is an
extremely helpful one. The SALT Center offers individualized services for any
student who struggles with school or has any sort of learning disability. This
is a very personalized program that is an extremely useful resource.
There are so
many resources on campus, if you can think of any other ways to get help,
please feel free to post it in a comment!
