Success seminars help students improve study skills and provide strategies for success in college courses. Seminars are held in the Learning Center located in SFA200. All seminars are free, and some instructors give extra credit for attendance. For the summer semesters, students may request an individual or a small group seminar during a scheduled thirty minute tutoring appointment. Regularly scheduled seminars will resume in September.
Certain courses have historically high failure rates. Students find it difficult to grasp the subject in a normal class period. They may need it explained differently; they may need more examples; they may need guidance to develop study skills. To give students the extra help that they need, Lone Star College-Kingwood has established a Supplemental Instruction program. A student who has already successfully completed the course attends the class, modeling good student behavior. This student, or Supplemental Instructor (SI) is then available outside of regular class hours to work with any students who choose to come to the sessions.
