South Georgia Technical College (SGTC) recently held a study skills workshop for students on the Americus campus. Dr. Deo Cochran-Sherrod, SGTC Retention and Coaching Specialist, conducted the workshop and presented ten strategies for effective studying.

The workshop offered students an opportunity to strengthen their current study habits and wellness practices and help them figure out what strategies work best for them.  Topics such as time management, procrastination, and test-taking skills were discussed. 

Students in the workshop also took a self-assessment exam to determine their personal learning style. Understanding whether they are auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learners helps students develop more effective study practices.

The student support services at South Georgia Technical College are designed to enhance students’ education and college experience to help them succeed in their career goals. Educational resources available to students include tutoring, college skills course, study skills workshops, and more.
