Feedback from Faculty Thanks for sending me the link to the Student Lingo Workshops. I used the Resume Writing and Cover Letters with my class and thought it was excellent. Are there more Student Lingo workshops available for faculty to use in our classes? The students really got a lot of great information from the Interviewing workshop.
I watched the "Choosing a Major" workshop andloved it! This is exactly what Karen, James, andI have been working on for the last year. Nothaving the technical know how, our presentationdoes not look or sound as great as this. We love the videos! We have used them with students who are on probation/suspension. We have given them to our professors teaching our first year experience classes. The responses have been very positive. Please let us know if you develop any new titles. Feedback from Staff
Overall the workshop was very helpful, but the most important thing I learned it today was know how pay attention and assess my study skills which help me relax and relieve the anxiety. I rate her presentation as an excellent because the examples she gave were from students. She also discussed the most important issues the student may face that hinder him/her from focusing and loosing academic progress. Overall all the strategies discussed in the workshop are very helpful. The most helpful and beneficial strategy is cognitive restructuring. Turning something into a positive by self-reflection. Student Feedback
Students don’t attend student success workshops, because they cannot make it to campus or they don’t think they will use the information. They need the information when they need it. • Students miss critical class lectures due to absences. • I need to provide data to the administration showing that students need online on-demand services. Problems
Solutions ACCESSIBLE Access the site 24/7. Just in time training. Example: a student is taking a test the next day and needs multiple choice strategies. Students access the workshop from home preparing for the test. ENGAGING Interactive and effective presentations, action plans and resources. All workshops are practical and can be applied immediately. COST EFFECTIVE Serve students (incoming and current), faculty, staff and parents for one low price. We do the work for you! TRACKABLEWe can run monthly reports for you so you know how many students are viewing each workshop.
