Experiential Learning Labs
A variety of learning labs are in use at Collin College to facilitate experiential learning by students. These include, but are not limited to, behavioral sciences lab, computer writing classrooms, math lab, student media workshop, and writing centers. Please scroll this page to read more about these resources.
Behavioral Sciences Laboratory Behavioral Science labs are located at the Spring Creek and Central Park campuses. They are designed to provide students with the opportunity to replicate and/or conduct research projects in psychology and sociology. The labs provide students with an environment in which to conduct practical applications of theoretical principles from course work as well as opportunities to conduct original projects to promote the use of the investigative methods of the behavioral sciences.
Computer Writing Classrooms Several sections of English 1301 and 1302 are taught in the computer classrooms located on the second floor of the Spring Creek Campus Library, the second floor of the Central Park Campus and the second floor of the Preston Ridge Campus. Students in these classes use software including WordPerfect™, Internet™, Netscape™, Aspects™, Dialogue Notebook, Correct Grammar™, and CD-ROMs.
Math Lab The Math Labs assist students enrolled in developmental math, college-level math, and natural sciences courses that have math-based assignments. The staff includes faculty, instructional associates, and student tutors. Students may use videos, graphing calculators, and computers to complete homework assignments. Study sessions are scheduled for the lab components of college algebra, trigonometry, business pre-calculus, and business calculus. Hours for drop-in assistance vary and are posted at each campus.
Student Media Workshop A video production and editing facility is available for course-assigned student projects. Computer generated special effects may be added as well as titles and credits. Two studio-quality cameras are available as well as equipment for special effects and graphics. A Commodore Amiga 2500 with Video Toaster and audio-dubbing capabilities enable students to produce professional-looking videos.
Writing Centers The Collin College Writing Centers provide a place where students can seek advice on compositions assigned in classes across the curriculum. Each center's primary purpose is to help students become better writers by guiding them through the various stages of the writing process.
Writing Centers are located in the libraries at Collin College's Central Park, Preston Ridge and Spring Creek Campuses. An appointment schedule is conveniently posted near the door of each center, and walk-ins are welcome at posted times. For further information, call the Writing Center at:
