What is a “How to…” session?
How to… drop-in sessions are a welcoming space for students to drop-in and receive support with any learning- or writing-related tasks. Students will be able to speak directly to a CSAS team member who will assist them with their questions. There is no time commitment to attend these sessions. Students can stop by for a quick question or grab a seat to discuss more in-depth issues. Students can also receive resources and referrals to other on-campus services to further aid their academic success.
Some examples of How to… drop-in session topics may include:
- How to… write a thesis statement
- How to… make an outline
- How to… write introductions and conclusions
- How to… create a monthly/weekly calendar
- How to… take notes effectively
