Julia is taking an accounting class, but isn't comfortable with the material. She knows that she has homework assignments each week as well as a business proposal due at the end of the class. She is feeling overwhelmed by the content of the course and doesn't know where to begin with her proposal. What resources are available to Julia that could help her be successful this semester? How will those resources help her? 

 

Answer:

1. Julia can see a tutor within the Accounting/Business Department of her College or University. A tutor would help her in that they can go over the information together, and she can learn from someone who has chosen a degree in this field, and as such, has a firm grasp of the material.
2. Julia can form a study group with her classmates. No one understands the course better than those that are already in it. By forming a study group, Julia and her classmates can go over their coursework together in order to better understand it.
3. Julia can visit the professor or the TA during their office hours to receive additional guidance. The professor and TA are intimately familiar with the subject matter, and can help her to grasp material that she is struggling with.
