ASK

BCC is now offering students a new tool for sharpening academic and personal skills for college success.
ASK, an acronym for Academic Success Know-How, includes a series of narrated, interactive workshops that focus on topics in the categories of academic exploration, personal management, and learning to learn. Each narrated presentation is approximately 20 minutes long. In addition, students can work at their own pace to complete interactive exercises that are embedded within the videos. The following titles are included:

♦	What It Takes To Be A Successful Student
♦	Study Tips and Note-Taking Strategies
♦	Test Anxiety & Test-Taking Strategies
♦	Understanding & Avoiding Plagiarism
