Learning Assistants are well trained student employees that support their peers by providing regular one-on-one and group meetings with students to provide help with various academic tasks such as managing the completion of assignments, communicating with professors, reading, and understanding a syllabus, creating a time management schedule, developing student and notetaking skills, and maneuvering online platforms such as MyOakwood, D2L, MindTap and others. They also direct students to on-campus resources such as academic advisors, tutors, the Writing and Reading Labs, Health & Counseling Services, as well as Disability Support Services.
