Learning Skills Programs

The DES Learning Skills Program was designed to help any student become efficient and effective learners. This objective can be reached through goals consisting of:

  • Developing new study skills and techniques
  • Memory improvement
  • Learning to keep up with your coursework
  • Improve test preparation and performance skills

Time Management Assistance

Time management is an essential element for all students who want to attain their highest level of academic success. Students can receive information on how to create a realistic schedule that includes not only time for studies but also the important daily needs necessary for creating a balanced student life. (Yes, there really can be time to eat, sleep, and have a little fun.)

Multiple Choice Question Assistance

Students are offered an opportunity to improve their overall test-taking skills through workshops and/or individual meetings. These meetings address both ways to prepare for MCQ exams as well as techniques to use during the exams. It is hypothesized that good test taking skills can improve exam scores from 5 to 15 percent.
