learningsupport center at our university. Together, these programs support around 120 courses across theuniversity. Most of these are freshman-level courses in areas of mathematics, accounting,chemistry, physics, and engineering. This makes our services one of the main academic supportresources for first-year students. With this population in mind, our vision for course support is toequip and encourage students to take ownership of their learning.To accomplish this goal, we provide students with a variety of services from drop-in tutoring, tocollaborative Peer-Assisted Learning sessions as well as MATHLab. We hire over 150undergraduate students to serve as peer leaders for our programs. These students have previouslytaken and been successful in the

Figure 3 shows the surveystatistics where majority of the students voted against using a single book in the class. Alsotechnology courses must be accompanied with lab or hands-on exercises and practices. Most ofthe engineering courses are associated with lab components; however, if a course does notinclude lab, the teacher should take the initiative to include some lab exercises. As shown in Fig.3, students get interested in a topic when it is demonstrated along with some practical examplesand exercises. Lecture should strictly follow the
