Are you struggling to grasp a particular concept in one of your classes this semester? Or maybe you have test anxiety and don\u2019t quite know how to deal with it. Let the Learning Center<\/a> help.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a Tutoring Session for That<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cWe have course-based tutoring in lots of different classes, and we also have study skills sessions for students who might need help with test taking, reading comprehension, or test anxiety,\u201d explains Jennifer Haley, director of the Learning Center.<\/p>\n

Both are accessible to make appointments via Navigate<\/a>\u2014in the same way students make appointments with their advisors, they can make an appointment with a tutor. Students can just log on to Navigate and make an appointment, with every single tutor accessible either in person or virtually via Zoom. Students don\u2019t need to feel pressured to be on camera, though. If audio is more your speed, you can turn your camera off, or just use Zoom\u2019s chat feature. It\u2019s up to you!<\/p>\n

The Learning Center also offers supplemental instruction and testing accommodations for students with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Workshops On Demand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recently, the Learning Center moved its workshops to an on-demand structure.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works: let\u2019s say a faculty member or president of a student group wants to have the Learning Center do a presentation. All they have to do is fill out a form<\/a> on the Learning Center website. The Learning Center then makes sure there\u2019s someone to present that workshop, and bada-bing, bada-boom, you\u2019ve got yourself a workshop.\u00a0 Haley says that this modality works a lot better for the Learning Center\u2014it helps to ensure an engaged, interested audience for the workshop.<\/p>\n

Best Kept Secret<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the Learning Center\u2019s best-kept secrets, says Haley, is their database<\/a> of video tutorials. Over 600 videos were created by Learning Center staff during the height of the pandemic, and are available on virtually any subject, should students want to use them. These are particularly useful, says Haley, for students who are exclusively online, and may not have the schedule necessary for a tutoring session, but can spend some time watching a helpful video.<\/p>\n

There for You<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In general, Haley notes, online students either may not realize or feel they may not have the time to utilize the resources available to them.\u00a0 The Learning Center is there for all of Ball State\u2019s students and is willing to meet you wherever you are in your learning process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most successful students are the ones who are proactive about seeking out resources,\u201d says Haley. \u201cBeing able to recognize when you need help and being motivated enough to seek it out is a sign of academic and social growth and maturity.\u00a0 Connecting with actual people\u2014live\u2014even if it is over Zoom, can be uncomfortable, but the students and staff who are here to help you are used to this, and will help you to feel at ease.\u00a0 So, remember to reach out!\u201d<\/p>\n

Take an active role in the learning process and reach out if you need help, because, from writing a thesis to Punnett Squares or Chebyshev’s Theorem, the Learning Center has you covered.<\/p>\n
