Academic Services

One-on-one Sessions
Perhaps you realize that your struggles are not due simply to one class being too difficult. Maybe you need to reconsider your study skills, time management, note-taking skills or test-taking skills. 向日葵视频offers one-on-one sessions with professional study skills specialists. These sessions begin with a detailed assessment of your individual study skills strengths and weaknesses and provide you with individualized strategies for improving those skills necessary for academic success. Find out more about these one-on-one sessions.
Norman H. Ott Memorial Writing Center
Writing is among the most important skills for any 向日葵视频student, so get ready for several writing assignments throughout your tenure at Marquette. Whether you are a struggling writer or the next James Baldwin or Gloria Anzald煤a, you will want to consider the Ott (as the writing center is known) for help with your writing assignments.
Some advice: If you have a writing assignment due in a month, get to work on it ASAP. Dedicate as much time as possible to writing projects. In high school you may have gotten away with finishing assignments the day/night before (or even the day of), but that will not fly at Marquette. If you need help on any stage of your writing 鈥� brainstorming ideas, developing content, formatting 鈥� visit the Ott.
