Smarthinking, Have You Tried It?
If you think the headline is misspelled, you are right (and wrong). Smarthinking is a web-based, tutoring service, which is available 24-7. It features “sophisticated services such as live, online tutoring; on-demand tutoring; or tutoring via a scheduled appointment.” The Online Writing Lab allows students to “receive a detailed, personalized critique of any written assignment through a formal critique process.”
Subjects include writing, reading, math, science, business, English for speakers of other languages, Spanish, nursing and allied health, and computers and technology. There’s even help for resume writing!
Concord provides this service free of charge to students. Creating a Smarthinking account is easy. If you are in a course that utilizes Blackboard, log on to any Blackboard course – click on Tools – scroll down to Smarthinking and click to open it – you will see a SYSTEM Check page, which will transit to the Smarthinking page after a few seconds.
If you are not in a course that uses Blackboard, go to your MyCU account – click on the Student tab – click Smarthinking Access – complete the form – submit. Please use your MyCU email address to enroll in Smarthinking. The ASC will then be able to enroll you in the “Smarthinking” course, and you will be able to establish your account.
If you’ve ever struggled with a problem or assignment late at night or on the weekend, or wanted immediate help with homework but you are away from campus and access to drop-in tutoring, Smarthinking is for you! The professional tutors are available to help you understand concepts, explain problems, and proof written assignments.
Many Concord students use Smarthinking each month. The Academic Success Center, along with students who are using smarthinking, is working on presenting a workshop, which will provide instructions on how to create an account, the benefits (and drawbacks, if any) of using Smarthinking, and first-hand experiences with the program. If you would like more information about the program, contact the ASC at 304-384-6074, 304-384-6298, asc@concord.edu, or stop by our office in Rahall 243.
