Dear Readers,
Happy end-of semester and Happy Holidays! This month, we offer Dennis Congos’s
self-questionnaire for test anxiety, Kyle Cushman’s review of Thinking
for Yourself: Developing Critical Thinking Skills Through Reading and Writing
by Marlys Mayfield, Barbara McLay’s humor column, Julianne Scibetta-Messia’s
Brainteasers, and my article, “Have Laptop, Will Tutor,” a narrative
of observations and musings regarding my first semester as an OWL tutor. We
hope you enjoy our offerings, and as always, we invite you to contribute to
our publication. If you have a great handout, a recommendation for a useful
or enlightening book that deals with learning assistance issues, a good joke,
or an article about any topic of interest to learning center staff, we invite
you to share with your fellow colleagues in The Learning Center Exchange.
Best wishes for the New Year! See you in January!
Mona
