Module 2 Wrap Up
Pull it together before you head back to your course.
You've reached the end of Module 2. These are the ideas to carry forward.
Key takeaways
- No one does this alone. The students who struggle most are usually the ones who wait too long to ask, not the ones who know the least.
- Interpersonal Relations starts with self-awareness. How you show up with other people shapes what help you ask for, and what help you get.
- Know your Success Coach before you need them. Save their contact information and introduce yourself early.
- Help-seeking is a skill you already have. Ask early, be specific, communicate professionally, and follow through.
- OCTC has more support than most students use. Tutoring, counseling, accessibility, TRIO, the library, and IT are all there for you.
- Your email is part of your professional reputation. Write a clear subject line, use a greeting, name your course, ask a clear question, and close politely.
Reflect
Who is one person or resource you haven't reached out to yet, but should? What's one small step you could take this week to connect with them?
That's Module 2.
