Struggling to study?
A quick list of resources to help with studying
One of the top reasons that people cheat is not because they are bad people with no morals. Sometimes, people do not have the study skills or knowledge to help them succeed on their own.
Whether one has focus issues or does not understand a concept in class, some people just have a lot of trouble sitting down and preparing for a test.
Thankfully, at there are many resources to help people who need additional support.
1 The Atoms Writing Center
The AWC is a club that is supported by the Advanced Composition class.
The club offers peer tutors who are available to help students edit and revise writing assignments for all classes.
The peer tutors also run workshops on different topics, such as preparation for SOLs and grammar.
Additionally, the website has blogs that give quick tips on similar topics, like the use of punctuation.
Tutors are available to help fellow students during W4, red day lunches, and after school on Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Workshops are held every couple weeks.
