During the first half of the semester, students will meet in small groups, to consider a variety of reading and study skills topics.

• How to construct REALISTIC daily, weekly, monthly schedules
• PROCRASTINATION: Causes? Cures?

• What's the most NATURAL way to expand your vocabulary?

• Several discussions on how to evolve into more critical and flexible readers, with emphasis throughout on building concentration, comprehension, memory, and rate (four primary goals for most reading lab students).

• What can students learn from educational psychology about absorbing and retaining information?
• What study methods equip students to REHEARSE for tests?
• Test anxiety?

Students are encouraged to suggest additional topics.
