Self-Help Academic Resources

Sometimes you need help at 2:00 am, or only have a quick question, or a video is the best explanation. 在这些时候,了解一些按需可用的资源是有帮助的.

Subject-Specific

Writing

The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is the go-to resource for college writing information. 这是我们的导师使用的,它应该是你的书签页之一.

Additionally we have APA Style for Beginners

For Research Based Projects

Math

Our tutors recommend Symbolab Math Solver which solves math problems step-by-step. 注意,这不是用来做作业的,而是 learn how to do your homework.

Mathway is another site to help you work through math problems. It has a variety of online calculators for any class.

你知道学习实验室有TI-84图形计算器供借阅吗? Contact us at tutor@sanyuanchang.com and check one out for the whole semester.

Chemistry

The Dynamic Periodic Table is great for learning and exploring the elements. 对各种元素进行排序、选择和搜索,以获得大量的信息.

 General Resources

We here at the Learning Lab cannot recommend the Khan Academy highly enough. 最初是一个人用YouTube视频辅导他的表弟,现在已经成为学生和老师最好的学术资源之一. 虽然它主要面向数学和高中生, there is a ton of information in a variety of subjects:

它是免费注册的,每个主题都分为易于消费的短课程, videos, and practices.

CrashCourse is a YouTube channel, 它最初被推荐为一个伟大的历史资源, which it is, but also includes informative videos on literature, biology, ecology, chemistry, and more.

Time Management Resources

大学对学生来说压力很大,尤其是在大学的第一年. Time management can be a difficult skill to master, 但这是学习成功最重要的技能之一.

It is important to learn how to manage your time well, to make more time for yourself outside of class. Discipline=FREEDOM!

这里有一些关于如何在大学内外更好地管理你的时间的好建议. 

1. Create a Calendar

创建一个日历来帮助你管理你的每一天,就像可以减轻很多压力. 而不是被两天后要交的重要论文吓到, 或者因为晚上不小心安排了学习小组而错过了HUB的有趣活动, creating a calendar can help you manage your events, deadlines, exams, and fun events. 

Some great digital calendar options include:

2. Set Reminders

如果你决定使用电子日历,是时候设置一些提醒来帮助你坚持下去了. 如果你需要按时完成某些任务,这可以帮助你, remind you when social events are coming up, 并且帮助提醒你发送关于小组项目的小组信息. 

If an digital calendar isn't for you, you can use a physical planner, or set reminders on your phone to alert you. 时间管理就是为自己的成功做准备, and giving yourself the tools to do that will help you, and increase your confidence. 

3. Use Tools That Work For You

If a digital calendar doesn't work for you, that's ok! 找到最适合你的工具,并坚持使用它. 你越是坚持使用这个工具,它就越容易按计划进行. 你的日历或时间管理选择将帮助你进行短期和长期计划. 

Planners

If you like paper planners, these can be really helpful with long term deadlines, important class deadlines, exam dates, and appointments/meetings. Time Blocking is also beneficial. 附件是由学术成功办公室创建的打印选项,以帮助满足您的需求!

4. Prioritize

Like we have said before, Discipline= FREEDOM! 当你有很多事情要做,而时间却很少的时候,事情就会变得有压力. However, if you learn how to prioritize your tasks, and take on big projects in sections at a time, you will find these tasks become easier to accomplish. 

试着先完成简单的任务,把它们清理掉!

What can be postponed? Think about social events coming last, there will always be another time, 但是期中作业不会有另一个截止日期. 

Friends will understand! 没有什么比那些支持你优先考虑学业和工作安排的人更能说明好朋友了. 

5. Have Fun!

It is also important to schedule in time for yourself. Life isn't always about class, exams, work, and studying. 把你的幸福和心理健康放在第一位,并及时安排与朋友一起玩乐. 

CSC offers amazingly fun Residence Life events on campus. Check here for a list of fun events coming up! 

6. Use Campus Resources

时间管理、组织和准备有时只能让你走这么远. 幸运的是,CSC有很多资源可以帮助你成功! We have people rooting for you in every corner! Here are some suggestions on places to go for help:

Academic Success Coaching

学习实验室提供学业成功教练,帮助你在大学期间取得成功. These peer coaches are here to help in a variety of ways. 你需要一些帮助来组织,寻找动力,或者只是找人聊天吗? Academic Success Coaches are here for you!

Are you an online student? All Coaching sessions are also available online. When visiting our Bookings Page, please select 'online appointment'. 一旦我们收到预约,我们将通过电子邮件为您和您的学术成功教练发送Zoom链接. 

Does Academic Success Coaching Work?

After utilizing this resource, students were asked “在参加学术辅导时,你学到了什么??”

“我知道了更多的学习方法,确保我成功。”

“I learned how to manage my time better”

“我觉得我学到了很多时间管理的知识,因为我开始在本周早些时候完成我的任务。”
