Nov. 3, 2009—Good
study habits help build the foundation for academic success
in school, college and beyond. To provide
students with the skills they need to be successful, middle
and high school students participated in the second annual "Student In-Service Day" on-campus in October.

Students who elected to take the forensics
course during in-service day identified ink
samples using a technique known as paper
chromatography. |

Ronald Kingsley, a professor at Schenectady
County Community College.

Throughout the
day, students participated in workshops devoted to teaching
learning strategies—for more effective study skills,
note-taking abilities and organizational methods—in the core
subjects.
Students also participated in a variety of elective courses,
which were offered as a way to balance the day and possibly
spark students interest in a new hobby. Some of the
electives included learning how to play a guitar, cook
French food, practice yoga and relaxation techniques and
create a healthy and well-balanced diet.
In addition,
students attended a career fair and met with representatives
from various branches of the military.
The fair
featured nearly 20 professionals representing the fields of
medicine, education, law enforcement, government, art and
much more.
Many thanks
are extended to all of the individuals and organizations who
took time out of their busy schedules to share their
expertise.
