Why we love ASC

        Samir Mohamad Bachar Saidi
        As someone who has tutored at the Learning Support Center and the Writing Center since I first joined ADU, I am
        very excited to see the potential of the Academic Success Center after upgrading to a state-of-the-art facility and
        improving the services to better facilitate students’ academic development. Alongside the normal peer tutoring
        service, we are holding workshops in tandem with a repository that has resources for all General Education
        Courses. The repository includes further explanation for topics covered in a course, and worksheets to practice
        on. I hope that, in the ASC, students find not only a suitable place to learn but also a pleasant environment to
        spend time in whenever they like.
        To finish off, I wish to extend my thanks to all our tutors and faculty, whose unwavering efforts have tremendously
        helped the ASC in every possible way. This could not have been possible without them.

        With the opening of the new center, there are great hopes for further improvement of the range of services the
        ASC will offer. Being a part of the center for almost three years has provided me with the opportunity to closely
        observe its progress and its role in ADU students’ academic journey.
        In the rush of assignments, quizzes, projects, and club activities, we hope to provide some clarity by helping to
        ease the burden. When in doubt regarding your courses, you can seek assistance from student tutors and faculty
        members available at the ASC or attend workshops held to reinforce classroom material.
        ASC is bound to grow in the coming years, mainly by increasing the number and variety of tutors available as well
        as by improving accessibility to the center’s resources.
