How To Help The Student Study

 

Let the student know about the Recordings for the Blind textbooks-on-tape option and steer him/her to the Coordinator for DSPS if you have one at your college.

Remind students often of your availability during office hours for individual clarification of lectures, readings and assignments.

Encourage the formation of study groups, in fact, providing some amount of in-class time for such groups can be wonderfully beneficial to all students.

Provide explicit feedback, both oral and written, about the strengths and weaknesses of a student's work, so that follow-up efforts can be effectively focused.

Periodically offer tips and encourage class discussion of ways for improving studying--organizational ideas, outlining techniques, summarizing strategies, etc.
