"I was just getting into my studying when one of my friends dropped by and persuaded me to go downtown for just a few hours. He said he'd taken the course and could tell me all I'd need to know. I guess he didn't do so well either. I need help learning how to balance my social life with my academic responsibilities "
"Other students don't seem to spend as much time reading as I do. And they get better grades. Last night I sat at the library for three hours trying to read two chapters in my textbook. I couldn't tell you one third of what I read! I need help learning how to concentrate and understand what I need to"
"I really can't pay attention in such a big lecture hall. I feel tired the minute I sit down. I need help learning how to be active and alert in such a passive environment."
