Page 6 • Tuesday, November 3, 1998 C ampus The Battaltle Battalioi Center offers students academic help BY NONI SRIDHARA The Battalion Center for Academic Enhancement (CAEN), located in 529 Blocker, holds valuable academic resources available free of charge to students. CAEN is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and pro vides help for students who are try ing to improve grades, raise their scores on standardized tests or get extra help in classes. One main feature of CAEN is sup plemental instruction (SI) sessions. These sessions usually take place three times a week and enforce whatever material has been covered in class. Another feature of CAEN is the in dependent study lab. Here students can use computerized programs to prepare for tests such as the GRE, GMAT and LSAT. Students can also prepare for credit by exam tests at this study lab. In addition to the com puterized programs, there are book supplements students can use while they are in the lab. Catherine Toler, assistant director of CAEN, said CAEN also conducts re view sessions for standardized tests, which are announced in the All-Uni versity Calendar and through fliers. CAEN also offers courses for cred it hours. These' courses include CAEN 101 “Succeeding in College” and CAEN 102 “Career Awareness.” Eric W. Trekell, a lecturer for CAEN, said the majority of people enrolled in these courses are fresh men or students who are on acade mic probation. Trekell said many students enrolled during the sum mer take part in the provisional pro gram, which allows students who did not originally get accepted into A&M to take classes;'if they do well in the courses they will be granted admission to the University. Ttekell said there are four main points that are focused on in CAEN 101. “We mainly stress skills which will help benefit them academically,” Ttekell said. “The four main ones are time management concepts, how to read textbooks more effectively, how to listen better in class and how to prepare better for tests.” Another service provided by CAEN is the Academic Assistance Clearinghouse Database. This data base allows students to access all re view sessions, SI schedules and e- mail addresses for departments. This database also provides online math tutoring, as well as links to preparation materials for standard ized tests. In addition, the database allows students access to grade dis tribution reports and faculty evalu ations by students. Students can view the database by accessing the CAEN homepage at http://www. tamu.edu/aac/.
