Learning Center Lamiches
New Tutorial Program
By Shereen Heath
The Learning Resource Cen
ter, a service provided by the
Department of English and
Modern Languages, is designed
to help students with study
skills, reading assignments.

tests and other aspects of col
lege acadcmics. Many students
feel that this program is only
for students who are having
difficulties in these areas. How
ever, MacLennan emphasizes
that the Learning Resource Cen
ter is also designed to help the
more advanced student improve
his skills.
One of the changes planned
for the center is the hiring of
student tutors. MacLennan
feels that peer tutoring is very
important since a student may
feel more comfortable receiving
advice from a fellow student
who is interested in helping
him. This plan should be in
effect by the beginning of
November.
The center is also preparing
several competency-based
packets. These programs are
designed to aid students in
specific areas of study. Test
sophistication, one of these
program areas, will prepare the
student to deal with various
forms of tests, such as multiple
choice or fill-in-the-blank. An
other program will deal with
reading skills. This will enable
the student to develop effective
conceptualism, or the ability to
grasp basic concepts presented
in an assignment. As a result,
the student will be better able to
comprehend and retain mate
rial, Other areas which will be
developed are the improvement
of language and writing skills.
As these changes are gradu
ally put into effect, the Learning
Resource Center will develop
into a program which c«ti be
benaficial to all students at
Atlantic Christian College.
