In this course, students learn about changes necessary to achieve higher grades.

Students enrolled in this course earn one hour of graded, elective credit.

What do former USTU1252 MINDSET students have to say?

• "I never imagined just how much you would be helping me through the semester." 

• "I learned so many little tips from you this semester about getting my schoolwork done. The study tips will be something I use for the rest of my schooling and improved my grades tremendously. Especially when I combined those with what I learned about which learning style works for me. The multitasking worksheet helped me realize how I need to do things to be the most efficient. The motivation worksheet made me realize that I want to change my major. All these things put me on the path of success."

• "What truly helped me was having someone who was there for me. Being able to talk to someone that wasn’t involved in any situations made everything so much better for me. I was able to put things into perspective and get your opinion on many different things. I had more things on my plate this semester than I have ever had before. Getting help from you to balance everything worked wonders for me. Thank you for everything you did for me this semester."
