Here are some techniques that a few of the participants in the 2006 pass program said they would be using in the upcoming school year:

“Very useful and helpful (a lot of practical information); helped me to acclimatize to the Jefferson atmosphere and environment… I feel more confident now as a TJU student.”
– Galina Anderson, RS

“I used to not know where to study, how to study, or what my best learning style was. The PASS program helped me figure out which method was best for me. I was always used to MLA format, but now I’m not so scared of a different format (APA). I am one of those people who fall asleep as soon as I open my textbook. Now I know how to make reading more interesting and interactive.”
– Amy Warren, OT

“The top three most helpful things were getting to know people in and out of our majors, becaoeming familiar with the campus train systems, and going over ways to deal with stress, test anxiety and study skills.”
– Jillian Mikesell, Nursing

"The PASS program will give you a head start to a competitive and successful academic career at Jeff. Don't PASS it up"
– Andre Hubbard, RS

“I learned some new techniques with note-taking and note-taking when reading my textbooks. PASS clarified how to write in APA format and gave me an idea of how to make my schedule for the semester.”
– Modesty Orfetel, RS

“The most helpful things I learned were managing time, being reassured that I’m not the only person stressing, and where everything of importance is located.”
– Janine Royer, RS

“This workshop really got me motivated, and I gained a lot of confidence! Everybody should do this. It really eased a lot of my worries.”
– Asha Matthews, PT

“The section on reading/studying skills was something that had a huge impact, in that the shkills taught were simple but extremely helpful. The note-taking skill of putting questions on the right side of the notes that the notes answer is such a great study tip. The tips on reducing test anxiety will help me out so much.”
– Julia Runge, RS
