PTK speaker to address
stereotyping of cultures
ial sessions or go to a lab is not such a good
idea, Hill said. Studying takes planning.
“Put tutoring time in when the first week
of school starts so it becomes part of your
schedule like classes are,” he said.
Students must remember that going to lab
or getting a tutor does not mean they will get
the answer and be finished. Many wish that
were the case, but it is not, Hill said.
Employees at TCC’s labs are there to
guide students in the right direction and make
sure they understand.
Tutoring can give a student attention that
usually cannot be given during class time.
Hill said students can develop a tutorial plan
to reach their goals for the semester.
“It’s all about attitude and to make sure
that you are aware of what resources are avail-
able to you,” he said.
Most TCC campuses provide many of
the same services whether it is a writing cen-
ter, math lab, information technology lab,
world language lab or campus learning center.
Hours of operation vary and an appointment
may be necessary with certain labs.
“Remember, being successful takes a
plan,” he said. “Plan your visit and get help
now.”
The speaker will also explain why
stereotypes are so detrimental not only to
the individual’s rights but to a peaceful co-
existence.
Shaheen will discuss various solutions
to the vilification of the cultural other, in-
cluding film summits and other confer-
ences that open the fines of communication
between cultures.
Professor emeritus of mass communi-
cations at Southern Illinois University, Sha-
heen is the author of award-winning books,
such as Real Bad Arabs: How Hollywood
Vilifies a People and The TV Arab.
Shaheen’s expertise has been used for
consultation on various television and film
productions.
The speaker is also widely published
in many textbooks and in publications,
such as Newsweek and The Wall Street
Journal.
Widely recognized for his efforts to-
ward cultural enlightenment, Shaheen is
the recipient of two Fulbright awards.
Oct. 20 A Multicultural Awareness Festival will be held
on SE Campus in the North Ballroom. Entertainment rep-
resenting cultures from around the world will be present,

Tutors and lab employees are just a hop,
skip and a jump away, TCC students learned
last week.
In Help! I Need a Tutor: How to Utilize
Tutoring More Effectively, Dr. Curtis Hill, SE
Campus director of counseling, explained the
aid students can receive on any campus.
Whether students are sitting in math class
wondering where those pluses and minuses
came from or in Spanish wondering if it is
como estds or como estan, someone can help.
Hill said students can succeed in their ed-
ucational careers by just taking advantage of
the resources the college provides and putting
them to use.
Hill said it takes repetition to really un-
derstand a subject.
“A student might understand a concept
after a tutoring session but can go into class
and forget everything,” he said.
That is when independence in learning
comes in, which is that repetitive understand-
ing of a concept that students finally under-
stand on their own. Such learning is very im-
portant in order to succeed, Hill said.
Waiting until the last minute to start tutor-
