Peer Academic Coach

• Feb 2020 - Apr 2020

My goal was to assist students that wanted to create learning strategies and improve their academic success. To accomplish that I presented them with learning strategies focused in their course loads, academic area, and personal lives. Some of the strategies I worked with were SQ4R, active leaning, reading strategies, and note taking. Another duties included assisting leaning strategists to plan study schedules, preparing study materials for Biotechnology and Environmental Biotechnology courses, and searching for reference material to provide for students.
