EXCEL! Zone

EXCEL专区的学生学习和支持为CCD学生提供了一套强大而创新的服务，以帮助学生实现他们期望的学习目标. Success can be defined differently based on individual situations or goals. 一些学生将成功定义为在较难的科目中获得“C”的期末成绩, while other students have a goal to earn all “A” grades. 学生们可能也会发现有必要用科技来磨练他们的技能或制定学习策略. Whatever the learning goals are, come learn how to work smarter, not harder!

All EXCEL professional tutoring is free to currently enrolled CCD students.

Student Success

In alignment with CCD’s strategic plan, EXCEL提供了一个全面的课程，为学生提供学术和职业成功的可转移技能. 通过提供以下服务，EXCEL作为课堂学习的延伸:学术学习技能, Digital Literacy (technology skills), Computer Lab, Recording Space, Tutoring, Embedded Tutoring, Open Study, and Quiet Study and a Quiet Group Study Room that seats 6 – 8 people. Most of these services are delivered through individual and group tutoring, workshops, 或具备基本的数字读写技能，并能熟练使用微软Word软件, PowerPoint, Excel, and Digital Storytelling. Once normal academic operations resume, 建议通过打电话或发电子邮件给EXCEL预订录音空间和小组安静的自习室.

专业导师根据以下指导方针帮助学生成为独立的学习者:学生应该在EXCEL专区和Webex会议上准备好所有必要的书籍和材料. 这意味着上课、记笔记、做作业和阅读作业. 专业导师是专业领域的专家，他们曾经是成功的学生和/或教师. Though tutors are a good resource, 他们不做学生的作业，也不负责最终的课程成绩. For course-specific questions, students should consult their instructors. Instructors and staff who would like to request services can send inquiries to ccd.excel@qykj56.com.

  • Students who do not show up to remote appointments are considered "no-shows,每个学生每学期只允许缺席三次，否则远程预约的特权就会被剥夺.

Expectations of tutors

As a tutoring center, the tutor's goal is to guide students toward independent learning, not take ownership of their learning for them. 我们消除学习和理解的障碍，为学生开辟通往知识和技能之路的未知障碍. 导师应该体现他们的角色，最终引导学生走向自给自足.

Because we are a “drop-in” tutoring center, 每次辅导时间为20-30分钟，每个工作日不超过3次面对面辅导. 这些限制是为了鼓励学生对自己的工作负责，并聘请导师提供支持.

CCD学生可以通过观看这个短片开始安排远程辅导 How-to-Video 建立一个Accudemia帐户，并学习如何安排预约在任何区域的专业导师. 尚未建立帐户的学生应选择“新用户点击这里”按钮并按照提示操作. 已经拥有帐户的学生可以到“返回用户点击这里”按钮并安排预约.
