by D.B. Field When students at Cabrini College are having a difficult time in one particular course or in all of their courses, they can go to the Center for Academic Reinforcement. Better known as CARe, the center is located in room seven of the Rudy Rooymans Counseling Center. CARe not only tutors students in the subject they are having difficulty in, but also teaches them study skills which they can use in all of their course work . According to Barbara Rubin, assistant director of CARe, the number of students using the center is growing. Students are asked to sign in whenever using the center. By the middle of this semester 99 different students had signed in, "That's almost twice as many students signing in as last year in the same amount of time," Rubin said. Arthur Young, director of CARe also feels that the center is a growing program . He said, "I feel we've been very succesful. The sign in book shows us what the needs of the students coming to the center are . It also show us how much the center is being used. I think we're going to need another room soon." Young explained that originally there was just a writing center. "There were a lot of students who expressed a need for help in areas besides writing," he said. "We felt that peer tutoring would be the most effective way to meet this need." CARe was created in the fall semester of 1981. "Barbara Rubin is my greatest asset, and the student tutors do more work than most people· on campus realize," Young added. "The CARe center works in three areas," Rubin explained, "First, there is basic skills which deals with mathematics and writing. The writing part is more developed, because the center used to be geared strictly toward writing, Students who take the course the 'Composing Process' (Com. 321) are trained in how to develop their own writing process, and then in how to help other students who are having problems in writing," CARe is working now toward obtaining a computor word processor to expand its work with students who have writing problems. Rubin said that research shows that students development better proofreading and rewritng skills when they use a word processor. This is because students can compose their rough draft on the computer. Proofread it, and then make the neccessary corrections and alterations on the rough draft. It saves them the time of rewriting their entire composition a second time, so students are more willing to develop better writing skills.

Young added that he would also like to see computers become a part of the CARe center. "I would like to get software dealing with grammar , basic math , and perhaps even languages," he said . Ru~in said that "students with 'math anxiety' can take 'Modern College Math' 113 F (only with the permission of Robert McGee, chairperson of the math department). It is a special course in which the professor, Russ Simeon teaches the class on the same college level as other the other classes, but in a way that does not trigger the students' fear of math ." The second objective of the CARe center is course content. Students who show special abilities in a certain subject tutor other students who are having problems in that subject. "I find we have a lot of people at Cabrini who are willing to help others," Rubin said.

"It's fun to be a tutor, " sophomore Charles Smith explained. "Economics can be troublesome, so it helps to have someone to explain it to you." "I want to be an English tutor," Longo said, "because I think it will be very intersting to work with my peers." "Next semester I'll be taking Bobbie Rubin's class in study skills, and CARe will be reviewing my English marks from this semester." "I really get excited when I talk about history," junior Laura Kraemer, tutor said, "so I really enjoy helping people in that subject. I try to show them that history can be a lot of fun." "I had to struggle through difficult courses on my own," senior Karen Wright, psychology and philosophy tutor said, "so I feel good about giving other students an advantage I didn't have. I think the CARe center is a really worthwhile program, and it's growing. What's most important is that we not only help students with their difficult courses, we teach them how to learn."
