Hartnell College Student Success Workshop home page header image

People come to college with an expectation that they will learn. But learning is sometimes harder than you would expect. Knowing that you have to learn is not enough. In order to be a successful learner, you first have to know "how to learn."

The College Success Tutorials program contains a set of success strategies that should definitely help you become a better learner.

Topics covered include:

  • Goal Setting;
  • Active Listening;
  • Reading to Answer Questions;
  • Getting the Most Out of Your Lectures; and
  • Note Taking.

NOTE TO TABLET / SMARTPHONE USERS:

The Student Success Workshop is built using Flash, but this won't prevent you from using your tablet to view the presentation. You can visit either Google Play (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS) and download a cloud-based browser; such as Puffin. This browser is free and will allow you to access any Flash-based web content on your mobile device.

FOR STUDENTS USING SCREEN READERS:

After selecting the accessible version option, you need to turn your screen reader off. There are built in accessibility functions within the Student Success Workshop that conflict with screen reader commands. If you do not turn off your screen reader, the built-in accessible features will not work properly.
