Counseling Center

The Counseling Center at the Turner Student Services Building offers noncredit, nongraded classes designed to improve reading speed, comprehension, and general study skills. Classes are taught in small groups with individual instruction provided when necessary. A nominal fee is charged. In addition, a Study Assistance Lab is available, free of charge, to provide students with an opportunity to receive individual assistance with their study-related problems. Computer-assisted study skills instruction is available at the Self-Help Information Center in the Undergraduate Library. For more information, call 333-3704.

Rhetoric Tutorial

Rhetoric 100 (Rhetoric Tutorial) is designed primarily as an adjunct to Rhetoric 101 and 102, and is open only to students enrolled in these two courses. A student is placed in Rhetoric 100 on the basis of rhetoric test scores.

The tutorial meets weekly, and the student receives one semester hour of credit on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. The tutorial is devoted to individual writing problems and may be repeated for a total of two semester hours of credit.

Supportive Instruction

Academic assistance is available to students admitted under the auspices of the Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) or the President's Award Program (PAP), as described previously. Supportive instruction includes Supplemental Instruction (SI) and reveiws that are coordinated with, and supported by, faculty and academic departments that sponsor the supported courses.
