Many of us perform much of our work in front of a computer. The human body is generally not designed to sit for extended periods of time or to perform repetitive tasks on the computer. A safe and comfortable workstation is essential in reducing and preventing strain on our muscles and joints.

This session will:

  • Introduce the concept of ergonomics.
  • Describe the types of risk factors that pertain to an office computer workstation.
  • Show you how to set up a safe, healthy and comfortable workstation.
  • Provide an overview of good work practices that can prevent or minimize injury and discomfort.

The CTL Presents: "Teaching Study Skills, Success Strategies, and Personal Responsibility Across the Curriculum"
View in full page
  • When:
    October 15, 2013 10:50am
Date/Time: 
October 15, 2013 - 10:50am
Where: 
North Campus, Room D236

Time: 10:50 a.m. - 11:40 a.m. 

“I studied, but the questions on the test were different than what we covered in class.”
“I work nights, so I don’t have time to do the assignments.”
“My teacher is so boring that he’s making me fail the class.”
“Why do I even need this course, anyway?”

Do these statements sound familiar? Many students possess the intellectual capability to succeed in their chosen program but fail to reach their academic
potential due to a lack of study skills or self-management skills, and in particular due to an unwillingness to take personal responsibility for their experiences and
outcomes at college.

While your program may not have an entire course dedicated to student success, we can show you some easy and fun techniques that you can employ to incorporate
study skills and success strategies into your curriculum, whatever subject you may teach.

Presenters: Michelle Jordan and Lisa Salem-Wiseman are both professors in the Department of General Arts and Science, where they teach a student success
course designed to help disengaged students enrolled in preparatory programs to develop the necessary “soft skills” to be successful at the postsecondary level.
