Butler Resources

As most people would agree, classes in college are usually much more difficult than those in high school. The difficulty is not only in the course materials, but also because students are now independent and can only rely on themselves to accomplish their work. The student in case scenario four found himself having difficulty in all of his classes. His problems were partially because he was not managing his time and because he needed an extra hand. For this student, I would have recommended that he take advantage of the many academic help programs that Butler offers for their students. For example, Butler Community College has a tutoring program. If a student needs help, they can get a tutor who will meet with the student individually and help them with their homework. Another help service Butler offers is the Academic Achievement Center. In this center, students can enter and have someone available help them if they need it. It is not as exclusive as having their own tutor, but questions can be asked and answered in this place. All of these services are very helpful, but sometimes, it is helpful if a student if able to get a hold their instructors. At this college, students have very easy access to talking with academic administrators if conflicts arise. They are very helpful and will go out of their way to help a student in needs. One of the final resources a student can get is speaking with the instructors themselves. Every instructor on campus has their own office hours and the doors are open for their students to stop by and talk to them. The student in the forth case study could use all of these resources to help him bring his grades up. All of these resources could be found through the Butler Community College pipeline accounts. www.butlercc.edu.
