February 8, 2011 | Decreasing Academic Procrastination: Fighting the Thief of Time
"There is nothing quite so fatiguing as the constant nagging of an uncompleted task." I have found these words of advice given to me (Jim Bell) by my father when I started college to be very useful. I still find the advice useful. Each semester we ask out students: "What is holding you back from being an efficient and effective learner (an excellent student)?" The most common answer is "procrastination." <<more>> |

Our new 2010-2011 Catalogue incorporates the new General Education requirements for all incoming students at HCC.

When one hears the acronym for the Writing Across the Curriculum program, the obvious temptation is to muse over the creative (and often humorous) potential for pithy slogans – “WAC is back,” “Get ready for the WAC attack,” or “You don’t know jack about WAC!” The opportunity for creativity seems endless. Perhaps the advantage here is that the acronym “WAC” is both easy to say and remember; it seems to stick in one’s brain. Whatever the case, the WAC program is poised to make a significant impact on the pedagogical practices of every discipline and to re-invigorate student writing at HCC. <<more>> |
