In high school I got good grades without really trying but now I’m having trouble. What do I do?
The skills you use daily in university classrooms are different, because in college the burden of ensuring that your education is happening day to day shifts onto your shoulders. It is important to learn how to be a better college student, finding ways to work smarter, not necessarily harder. Start by talking with your professor about your difficulties. Be as specific as you can. Most professors are open to discussing strategies for success and course content. Ask your professor what academic resources are available for the course. You can also speak with your advisor about academic support. Contact the Student Success Center in the Kirk Building at (660) 785-5148 or trumansuccess@truman.edu to set up an appointment for tutoring, a study skills consultation, or information about academic workshops. The Success Center employs nearly 70 tutors and has academic support for the majority of departments on campus. There are also several Truman support links on the Success Center website at h
