SERVICES

  • The Skills Center supports reading, foreign language, and ESL courses.
  • Provides self-paced learning materials for all students.
  • Helps students improve learning strategies, critical thinking, keyboarding, etc., and
  • Administers make-up exams for all Fullerton College courses.

More specifically, the Skills Center provides these services to our users.

A.    ORIENTATIONS

Before students come to the Skills Center to perform their lab requirements, they should be oriented to the requirements of the lab by their instructors and have received their material check out cards.

Staff will conduct 20-minute orientations or 5-minute orientations in the Center, and our PowerPoint orientation is available on our website: http://skillscenter.fullcoll.edu/orientation.html

B.    MAKE-UP EXAMS

As a convenience to students, instructors of on campus, telecourse, or online courses, may arrange to have the Skills Center staff administer their make-up exams. Instructors can print out the Makeup exam procedure form to submit a makeup exam at the Skills Center.

C.    SELF-REFERRALS

Any Fullerton College student is welcome to use Skills Center materials for his or her personal skill development. Just check at the counter to obtain a “Materials Check Out Card.” Staff will gladly assist with equipment and material choices.

D.    CD and TAPE DUPLICATION

The Skills Center staff will duplicate CDs or cassette tapes of materials for which it has permission from the publisher on file. Students and instructors need to provide new blank CDs or blank tapes of good quality.

E.    TEXTBOOK READABILITY

On request, the Skills Center staff will analyze the readability levels of their current textbooks or textbooks under consideration for adoption.

 F.    LEARNING STYLES INVENTORY

This program allows users to evaluate their preferred learning methods such as visual, tactile and auditory learning and prescribes ideal learning modalities. Instructors who wish to compare their preferred teaching styles with their student’s or class’s preferred learning styles can do so using comparison graphs provided by the program.

G.    STUDY BEHAVIOR INVENTORY

This program helps users assess how efficiently they use their study time and makes suggestions how they can study smarter, not harder.

H.    INDIVIDUALIZED PROJECTS

Skills Center staff will work with any instructor to design special assignments, skill-development contracts, or other academic skill development activities for students. We will track and report student time on task to the instructor, too.

I.     FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS

Skills Center materials are available to community members who obtain an ID number from the School of Continuing Education and enroll in a no-cost course “Improving Individual Skills.”
