FRESHMAN STUDIES
All freshmen who attend Freshman Studies participate in study skills classes taught by faculty members. Those faculty members, along with peer counselors, meet weekly during the Fall Semester with their small groups to discuss career choices, attend cultu
ral events, and evaluate their experiences during their first semester.
THE STUDENT LEARNING CENTER
UT Martin coordinates its learning support activities through the Student Learning Center. Help for students begins with placement tests, which students take during Freshman Studies Week. The tests help advisors know students' appropriate beginning level.
One test may show, for example, that students need greater reading skills; they may choose to take a reading course which will help them deal with the increased size and difficulty of the college reading load.
Once in classes, students will find a range of available aid. They may get
drop-in help for writing needs in the Writing Center, Humanities 209. A
Math
Lab operates on the fourth floor of the Humanities Building on Monday through Thursday evenings and in the
Humanities basement during the day. Students often want to learn how to manage their time effectively, how to succeed in a particular course, or how to prepare for a particular examination. To learn what labs, courses, tutoring, printed and computer mate
rials, and counseling UT Martin offers, students may inquire at the
Student Learning Center office, Clement Hall 206-210.
STUDY SKILLS CENTER
Students needing help with study time management, note-taking, and other skills related to academic performance, may use the Study Skills Center, located in Clement Hall 206-210. The student may answer a questionnaire which provides specific details about
what the student needs most. Then films, tapes, written materials, and individual counseling can assist the student in using study time more effectively.
CAREER SERVICES
The Career Services Office is conveniently located in the University
Center, Room 259, to assist students, prospective students and alumni with career decisions. Career testing is offered to determine occupations which best fit an individual's aptitude, i
nterest, and values. Counseling is available regarding academic majors, career choices, and vocational goals.
Career exploration classes are offered for academic credit during the normal school year. Additional information on specific occupations is avail
able through an extensive career library.
