“I recently gave a test in the learning center. Students worked at their own pace and could choose where they wanted to start the test. In addition, several students were able to use some of the class time researching information for their final discourse on communication. It was wonderful to have these activities occurring simultaneously and we seemed to get a great deal of work done in the time allotted.”
– Kathie Novy, Speech Faculty
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” -Aristotle
