How RA is Effecting the Student Learning Experience
• “Reading activities helped me improve my performance in this class.”
• “Working with reading strategies in class has given me confidence in my ability to comprehend what I read.”
Bio 110 Case Study
Focused on student achievement
“…now that I have actually seen these strategies, I have actually made connections and I have seen other students doing the same, I actually understand what reading is.
I just feel it is really important, and I want to take this to everyone else so they can also take advantage of this skill we all have.” Jorge Tafolla – RA Student, 2013
