What is help?

I have a slogan that I developed while working with students. It is like a riddle. It goes like this. “What is help?” The answer? “Help is help. That is what help is.” This means that any form of help you can get to assist you in passing this class is useful, probably necessary and a good idea. Here are some traditional sources of help which may be available on your campus.

Learning Center.

Writing Center

Department tutoring lab.

Peer tutoring.

Professor or instructor office hours.

On line study sessions.

Study groups either formal or informal.

Review sessions, formal and informal.

These are traditional campus sources. Planet College has one more. A student who has recently passed this class. Preferably from the same instructor. A note on a campus bulletin board, “Passed Mr. Morris’ Composition class? Let’s talk. IM @me.” Could produce a helper. Try it.
