Supplemental Learning Assistance

SLA is offered in three forms:

  • WORKSHOPS - 60-minute interactive sessions led by an Instructional Specialist.
  • DIRECTED STUDY GROUPS (DSG) 鈥� 60-minute interactive sessions led by a tutor. 
  • DIRECTED LEARNING ACTIVITIES (DLA) - 60-minute individually-completed activities that include a brief consultation with an Instructor or Tutor.
*Please be sure to bring your student ID number to the Success Center.
WORKSHOPS & DIRECTED STUDY GROUPS

The 海角社区Success Centers provide workshops and directed study groups in a small group setting to help students learn class material that is typically more challenging. Students leave workshops and DSGs more confident in their understanding and ability to apply trickier course content.

Our instructors and tutors deliver the material in an engaging and student-centered manner, whenever possible giving students a more hands-on experience.

The following classes offer Workshops or Directed Study Groups:

  • ENGLISH: All English Courses
