What do we mean by academic growth?
Academic skills are like muscles that you can build and flex to help you succeed in your classes. Think about the following:
- Managing your time effectively
- Taking clear notes in class
- Preparing for your exams
- Using the library’s academic databases
- Analyzing information
- Approaching problems creatively
These are all academic skills that you can build in order to improve your performance as a college student.
